Thanks for the tip. Exactly the idea I needed to point me in some
direction.

Go with SQL 2005 Express on some other server and configure direct

SQL 2005 Express also works for the other Citrix databases like Resource
Manager Summary DB, Configuration Logging, and Access Gateway Advanced
Access Control database.
To back it up, schedule dumps of the databases. Search google for a script
that does that.

Hi all,
I've have 4 Citrix servers now running 4.0 Ent and W2K in their own
seperate domain.
One is the PDC, license and print server, the other three are worker bees.
Works just OK (some apps and printing failing and causing problems). We
only
use it for internet access (w/plugins, etc) and Office apps, all on Wyse
CEs, and not
expected to grow much given current funding levels.
I'm trying to start a new W2K3 setup with PS 4.5 Ent.
Question is, as I read the Citrix Admin Guide (p.34-37), should I go with
the
Access DB, or SQL Express, and how exactly does 'Indirect access'
work (since I don't do that now)? Pro's and cons, or should I try to
spring for the
full SQL license, and/or upgrade to PS4.5 Platinum?
TIA! - George
PS - And what's up with the W2K3 Unblocking files (what a pain!)?
PPS - Haven't seen much Friday humor on the list lately.
