I have just finished my upgrade from XP FR3 to PS4 tomorrow.
I did the exact same upgrade in my VMware test enviroment first and now
I have upgraded the production farm as well.
Enviroment:
Windows 2000 SP4
Citrix XPa FR3/SP3
1 Dedicated datacollector (Access), and Ica Client Update Database
9 Application Servers publishing full desktops
Step One:
Installing the new lisence server. and imported the lisence file.
As I were installing this on the datacollector server, I had a conflict
between the webinterface of the license console, and the Citrix XML
service, as both tried to use port 80. So I had to change the portnumber
of the web interface of the license console to 81.
Step Two:
Upgrading the datacollector server.
- Install WWW services in Add/Remove Program.
- Installed all windows patches except the rollup package.
- Installed KB824141.
- Upgraded Citrix.
- Installed the Citrix Hotfixes.
- Deleted the three print drivers from XP universal driver.
- Give the PowerUsers group at leat Read/Execute access to the root of
the system drive. This to allow the Ctx_SmaUser to autocreate printers
since I had stronger file security than it needed.
- Create printer policy, as this is now configured as a policy, and not
in the "Printer Management" part of CMC.
Step Three:
Upgrading the application servers.
I have done this in production time, removing two for each day from the
application. No problem running the XP servers against the PS4
datacollector.
- Installed all windows patches except the rollup package.
- Installed KB824141.
- Upgraded Citrix.
- Installed the Citrix Hotfixes.
- Deleted the three print drivers from XP universal driver.
- In the ICA Client, remove passtrough authentication. This makes the
logonscript to be run synch and messing with the logon.
- Give the PowerUsers group at leat Read/Execute access to the root of
the system drive. This to allow the Ctx_SmaUser to autocreate printers
since I had stronger file security than it needed.
This worked for me, but only testing on your own setup will give you a
safe upgrade path.
