Check out the upgrade manuals from1.8 to XP. They recommend upgrading your
master browser first then the farm members and also upgrading the farm members
first then the master browser depending on which PDF you read. Not to mention
service packs/feature releases. Hmmmmm. Hullo Citrix, have you heard of
quality assurance lately?
Sorry for not really helping, just a bit of a grumble really.

I'll have to check the original ( no-FR ) release of the course kit, but
we pulled the info from the course kit, and triple checked it against
Citrix web documents and it also passed through 2 or 3 tech editors, so
I'll say that they have changed the requirement numbers between FR
levels. Remember, our book for Sybex was written for the original 220
exam, with was based on XP installed with no feature release level.
If you're taking the 221 exam, I would go with the numbers from the FR2
manual you have.
Hope this helps,
John

Hi all,
I have some conflicts between books and manuals, as far as
requirements
for Metaframe XP and Citrix Management Console. Currently, this is
what
I am seeing:
Metaframe XP FR2 Requirements (per FR2 manual)
Windows 2000 Server
- Service Pack 2 or better
- 166mhz or better Pentium Processor
- 256MB RAM
- 2GB hard disk with 1gb free space.
Windows 2000 Advanced Server
- Service Pack 2 or better
- 166 mhz or better Pentium Processor
- 256MB RAM
- 2GB hard disk with 1gb free space.
Windows 2000 DataCenter Server
- Service Pack 2 or better
- Eight way or greater array of Pentium 3 Xeon Processors
- 256MB RAM
- 2GB hard disk with 1gb free space.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: (Per FR2 Manual)
250mb disk space for installing Metaframe XPe
150mb disk space for ICA client files
Citrix Management Console Requirements: (Per FR2 Manual)
- Windows NT 4.0 or greater.
- 64MB RAM
- 50MB minimum disk space for CMC and JRE 1.3
- Pentium class or better processor
Now I also have Brad and John Price's Sybex book on MFXP
administration.
This one states that you need a Pentium 133 or better on Advanced
Server. In addition, 200mb of hard drive space for the client
connection
files (is this different than the ICA client files? I don't think?).
Lastly, only 25MB for the CMC.
So, really I am confused. Which is it? I could tell you either or, but
I
don't know what is expected on the test as an answer. Did the
requirments change between Future Release levels? Less disk space for
the ICA client files, and more disk space for the CMC to be installed?
Whee... :-)
Thanks for any input.
