There will always be best practises for installing, guaranteed.(Why else would
you subscribe to a list service such as this one) Even in a less complicated
non-TS/Cxitrix environment there are best practises you would want to follow.
Yes some installs will require unique things that need to be done but on the
other side of things there will always be items that should be followed (unless
the uniqeness of the app prevents following a specific type of best practise)as
well regardless of how unique the app may happen to be. To argue that is to
like trying to deny 1+1 equals 1. I see no point.

We tailor each installation, and the precise methodology we use, to the
environment we are working on. What I said in the original post is that
there is no absolute best practise and that lately we are tending to install
the apps first.
What exactly is wrong with that? Isn't it obvious that this means that we
have done it many different ways and don't have one rigid way of doing it?

Steve,
Aren't you then introducing two test plans? One pre Citrix installation and
the other post Citrix installation. As you said, you test all your apps
before you install Citrix. Surely you would then test them all after
installing Citrix because the server states have changed. So how does this
work for a Pilot rollout?
I believe that you should be more trusting of a product that has matured
very well over the years. You should also be confident in your own skills
(and the skills of your team) to fault find any issues.
If you do the Citrix Core Technologies and Architecture course (CTX-6100),
you'll understand how Citrix technology fits in with the elements of
Terminal Services, such as the kernel, drivers, etc.
I'm not having a go at you, nor do I mean to be disrespectful, I just think
your theory is outdated. But if that works for you and provides you with a
method of deploying successful Citrix solutions, then don't let me talk you
out of that comfort zone.
Cheers,
Jeremy.

This is a lot more than theory, this has been done on many, many servers in
the field!
Your point about drive re-mapping is a good one, you should install
Metaframe first if you plan to re-map, it certainly will break apps if you
try to do it later....

Good in theory, but not practical for a standard install method. What if you
are remapping the drives? This should be done before you install the apps,
so that you can test for application compatility, etc. Citrix do not
interfere with the RDP protocol, so you can still test things using RDP to
eliminate Citrix as an issue at a later date.
Kind regards,

There doesn't seem to be an absolute best practise here, but we tend
nowadays to install all the apps and do initial testing with RDP, then
install Metaframe after. This way you can eliminate any issues possibly
introduced by Metaframe (pretty rare though). Also, this way you can capture
an image which can be deployed later by adding it to the domain and
installing Metaframe via script. We like this better because it is cleaner
to install Metaframe anew on each server and join the farm "fresh".

Steve Greenberg

I asked that question too. I gathered from the responses it doesn't really
matter. I installed all the app after MF and my newest 2003 MF server is
cruising along just peachy.
Now I'm rebuilding an older one. JD

Is it recommended to install applications before or after installing MPS
3.0? What is the best practice? TIA
