Ah, I was going off old memorized info from CTX112525 but eDocs says otherwise. eDocs says only the election preference is looked at now starting with XenApp 5 for 2003 Feature Pack. CTX112525 says it was valid for PS4.0 and 4.5. I assumed 4.5 also meant XenApp 5. Thanks for the correction.

The latest version thing is used during an election when more than one server is set with the same preference level, or they are all left as default. The recommended order is for normal operational requirements. Putting a "test" server in a production farm is fine. Just ensure the Data Collectors are patched before deploying it to the rest of your production servers. Cheers, Jeremy.

Put your test VM into a test farm and test there.

I just built a test VM to do some testing, from the best practices web site I should install in the following order 1. Zone data collector 1. Backup zone data collectors 1. Database connection server (Resource Manager) 1. Primary farm metric server (Resource Manager) 1. Backup farm metric server (Resource Manager) 1. Member servers I don't want ot install on any of these servers first until I am finished testing. Will this cause me any issues?
