Is anyone removing Citrix MFPS3.0 prior to cloning as stated as a "best
practice" in the advance concept guides? Or are you just setting all the Citrix
related services to disabled, run sysprep, clone then re-enable the services?

I'm not. I think that makes things much easier for this type of thing.

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,
Jobe

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,
