It is hit or miss with the CCS guys, they all seem very bright and
experienced but I think they tend to get a bit of tunnel vision based on
certain projects they have done. My experience has taught me that every
single environment is different and there are so many factors that go into
such decisions that you have to re-visit it anew each time. Unless someone
told me outright that 32 and 64bit PS doesn't work together I would do it if
the requirements dictated. It was designed to do that. The whole point of
the PS architecture is that they communicate via ICA and IMA and the exact
underlying OS is not a big factor in farm communications, more so on the
application/user level.

interesting. my last project involving Citrix Consulting dictated a design
that mixed 32bit and 64 bit in the same farm. We didn't notice any ill
effects from it. not that I was all that impressed with their work. They
were a colossal waste of money on that project.

We have an existing all 32 bit 4.0 farm. We are adding a new application
and have new 64 bit servers w/lots of memory & processors that we are
installing Citrix on. If we went with 4.5 then would we need to set up a
separate farm? I remember that being true for XP and earlier but don't know
if it applies to PM 4.0. I suppose we could upgrade the 4.0 farm but we
weren't planning on that.

George,
The short answer is that you must use different media.
The longer answer is that Citrix has End-of-life 64 bit PS4.0. I believe
you can still download the installation media from mycitrix but you must
go to some obscure ftp site for the hotfixes.
If possible, avoid starting a new project with 64 bit 4.0.

Does the Presentation Server 4.0 media I've been using to install on 32
bit
Windows 2003 OS servers install on a Windows 2003 64 bit OS or is there
different media I need to download?
