MessageIt's true, he does.  This has proven to work really well.  It's the 
philosophy of get the foundation built well first and then build on top of it.

  Through out the years there have been several problems with different MF 
versions that only happened when servers were upgrade from SPx to SPZ after MF 
was installed (not all but enough to remember them). A lot of times these 
problems would not manifest themselves on clean installs of the same product 
where Windows and its patches/SPs were installed then the latest and greatest 
from Citrix.



  Not that I know much but I make my guys always go Windows OS - Windows SPs- 
Windows HFs- Citrix - Citrix HFs

  Preferably W2k3, Hotfixes, and then Citrix.   That way you can create 
incremental images of W2k3 for a particular hardware platform (which could be 
used for other servers and services).



  Also, Citrix has done a really poor job with their installers so I like to 
save it for last.  Create and Image then install.

  We are having a argument at work about the following situation.



  One tech says it's better to install Windows 2003, then Citrix XP and then 
all Windows service packs/patches.



  Another tech says it's better to install Windows 2003, all windows service 
packs/patches and then Citrix XP.



  What are your thoughts?
