Chapter 1
The tools found in the ICA Administrator Toolbar are also available from the Citrix program group.
Although the program group appears to contain a couple of tools not available from the ICA
Administrator Toolbar, this appearance isn’t exactly true. The ICA Client Printer Configuration tool can
be run only from within an ICA session. And two tools seemingly available from the Citrix MetaFrame
XP program group will only work with MetaFrame XP if you’ve installed the software in compatibility
mode to cooperate with MetaFrame 1.8 servers. The Citrix Server Administration tool found in the
Citrix program group is intended for managing MetaFrame 1.x servers, not MetaFrame XP servers—
the tool will run if you click it, but it’s not MetaFrame XP-aware and won’t have the tools you need to
manage MetaFrame XP servers in it. And although there’s an icon for the Published Application
Manager (PAM), this icon doesn’t connect to a working utility—you can’t use the PAM tool from
MetaFrame XP to manage either XP or 1.x MetaFrame servers. Generally speaking, anything you
can do from the Citrix program group, you can do from the ICA Administrator Toolbar.
ICA Client Creator
The ICA Client Creator, which Figure 1.2 shows, is a not-very-useful tool that you can use to
create installation disks for the ICA client. The client doesn’t fit on a single floppy disk, so using
the installation disks requires keeping track of three floppies. I’d use it if the only possible way
to get the client installation files to a prospective terminal server user were to send that user the
floppy disks.
Figure 1.2: All ICA client update settings are controlled from each client’s properties sheet.
If not the ICA Client Creator, then what? After you install MetaFrame XP onto a Win2K server,
the ICA client installation files are located in %systemroot%\system32\clients\ICA folder. Create
a one-time batch file to install them, use NFuse so that you can automatically install an ICA
client onto the client machine trying to connect to the terminal server, or even email the contents
of the ICA client files folder to users, but don’t bother using this tool for ICA client distribution.
