I assume you mean did we change the default mapping that is out of the
box, then the answer is no we left it as is. We do map client drives
from all clients and have no problem.

Are you guys running remapped drives? Seems like after I run sysprep I
start getting ctxgina.dll errors.
Thanks,

Not that we are aware of, but of course sometimes you are not aware of
everything :-) But we have had no complaints from our users. The same
users used the servers last year in a LAN environment and this year we
consolidated them and are running over a WAN and they seem say there is
no appreciable difference.
The only issue we have at all with the Citrix farm is occasionally the
PN agent goes blank and you have to re-login and refresh the application
set. So if that can be traced to the image then I guess we have an
issue but I doubt that would be the only one if the image caused
problems. As always I am open to new information, if it turns out that
the way we imaged is a no-no then it is re-buildable. I am reading this
thread with that very fact in mind actually, hopefully the are really no
problems and not ones that just take accumulated time to pop up.

Bob,
Have you had any performance problems? The Advanced Concepts Guide
states that you may if you don't uninstall it. Just curious........
Thanks,

Sorry, thought about that after I sent it. We use a SQL back end for
the datastore and we really did not do anything special. Attached the
first server to the datastore in SQL and ran sysprep. Used Imagecast to
upload the image to our image server (nas box) and then just fired it
down to the other 15 servers. We even had a server crash on us
afterward (hardware issue not image related) and we imaged that one
again fine. Sorry I can't be of more help but we really did not run
into any problems.

Good to hear Bob, but can you just give a little more detail to help
everyone..
Did you disable the network card drivers ?
Did you remove it from the farm ?
Did you run SYSPREP ?
Anything else you can think of that I have not asked for

We have imaged MPS3 with Imagecast and it works fine. We have 16
servers in production since September that were imaged and all are fine.

Thanks I found the thread. It doesn't really state if it's MF XP or
MPS. Have you tried it with MPS 3.0?

I have, but so far only restored it back to the same machine. Sometime
next week I'm going to practice cloning it to a new machine.
List participant Phil Newman had this to say about Ghosting Metaframe,
and it's my basic plan of action:
"We use ghost for all out servers - the only modification we do is to
delete the WSID out of the MF20.DSN file, and set the IMA Service to
disabled before running SYSPREP.
The server is then ghosted, and oncew the image has been installed - the
correct WSID, in entered into the MF20.DSN file, and IMA Service started
regards,
Phil Newman"

Has anyone successfully ghosted a MPS 3.0 on W2K3? I was looking in the
archive and didn't see much about it.
Thanks,
