Keep in mind that drive mappings support for 2003 is for Win XP Pro clients
only.
Win2kx supports load balancing (it's horrible in 2000, better in 2003 but
requires(strongly suggested) your switches to support IGMP) but it also
doesn't scale well with a large number of servers.

Subject: [THIN] Question about Windows 2003
One of my bosses is looking that he features of Windows 2003 Terminal
services and wants me to detail why we should keep citrix when it would be
much cheaper to drop it and use only 2003. I am currently looking at what
2003 Doesn't have.
We currently have a about 10 citrix servers in 2 farms serving close to 1000
workstations, all of them remote. So far I can think of
1) Change everyone from Citrix clients to Terminal server client software
2) NO published Apps for centralized application control
3) No Nfuse
4) No load balancing? *I havent read very far yet so I'm not sure of this
one)
Apparently Print mapping and drive mapping ARE supported in 2003
Anything I am missing?
Currently we are still at NT4TSE and MF1.8SP2
670,616,629 mph. Its not just a good idea, its the law.
