I've managed and installed a number of Citrix Metaframe XP servers and never had an issue with the Access database. The only problem I recall was the LHC got corrupted on one server and it was easily fixed.

I was wondering in actual practice how stable people find MSDE used for Citrix datastore vs. Access and vs SQL. MSDE also has user concurrent connection limit which should not be an issue for smaller farms. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Day [mailto:MDay@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, August 05, 2005 1:09 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: MF XP FR3 Access Datastore MSDE is a version of SQL server. The main difference is with MSDE the Database size is limited to, I believe, 2GB. The other limitation is it does not come with the SQL enterprise manager but if you have a copy of that you can monitor and manage MSDE.

Will moving to MSDE eliminate these headaches. SQL is best I am sure but will MSDE be equally as stable as SQL? Steve Parr Metroland Printing, Publishing and Distributing Ltd.
