Well, Citrix and TS are generally considered disposable servers. A rebuild
of the Citrix servers (atleast for the companies I work with) is quite
simple. It's actually easier for us to add/replace a component in our
scripts and redeploy than it is to "Upgrade" and clean up the aftermath.
I know it seems rediculous to want to have a "clean" install of the OS and
ServicePack vs just installing the ServicePack later on, but it's a problem
that Microsoft created for themselves. Simply look at Microsoft's history
of Service Packs w/ Terminal Server and you'll understand why. W2K SP2, SP3
and SP4 all have had major issues and there are reports of W2K3 SP1 having
some issues... I switched to the "clean" install concept with W2K Sp3 and
have great success with it.
