Session Shadowing
Allows an administrator or
Helpdesk person to connect to a
user’s terminal session (with that
user’s permission) from another
ICA session. The person
shadowing can either give
themselves observation-only
capabilities or can actually
interact with the shadowed
session.
MetaFrame 1.x, MetaFrame XP

and system monitoring.

Table 1.1: MetaFrame capabilities.
For the sake of simplicity, I’ve listed MetaFrame’s core capabilities, not the subtle differences
between the versions. However, features change from version to version. For example, MetaFrame
XP’s load-balancing capabilities are much more powerful and easily tuned than the load-balancing
capabilities available with the Load-Balancing add-on for previous versions of MetaFrame.
All versions of MetaFrame XP work with either WTS or Win2K Terminal Services and aren’t
service-pack dependent. However, Citrix recommends that you plan to use Win2K Terminal
Services or .NET Server with MetaFrame XP—the company is developing a version of
MetaFrame for current versions of NT (not the no-longer-produced WTS). And, although
MetaFrame XP isn’t exactly dependent on any Windows-specific features, it can use some of
them (e.g., all versions of MetaFrame XP can read the contents of AD to get user-profile
settings). Thus, the complete functionality of a MetaFrame server will vary depending on the
underlying platform.
Just as the package structure changed with MetaFrame XP, so did the pricing structure.
MetaFrame XP is licensed on a per-connection basis, just as previous versions of MetaFrame
were, but you can now load the server software on as many servers as you need. To start using
MetaFrame XP, you need a MetaFrame Starter System consisting of the server media and 20
user licenses. The retail price for the Starter System depends on whether you get Subscription
Advantage (SA), which gives you free Feature Releases and product upgrades. Table 1.2 outlines
the pricing scheme for MetaFrame XP.
Version Retail Price with SA Retail Price without SA
MetaFrame XPs $5800 $5000
MetaFrame XPa $6900 $6000
MetaFrame XPe $8000 $7000
Table 1.2: The price for the base MetaFrame package depends on the package you’re buying and whether
you’re getting it with SA.
