Citrix and Windows 2000

Hi,

I know that Citrix and Windows 2000 has been mentioned many times before, but I would be interested to know how many people are using Windows 2000 Terminal Server and Citrix.

We currently use V4 of BO and this is installed on NT servers within the Citrix environment. The company has now decided that all NT servers will be replaced with Windows 2000 servers, hence the need to install V5.1.2 onto them. I am aware however, that this configuration is not supported by BO.

What Service Pack of Windows 2000 have you installed alongside 5.1.2? I am inclined to go for SP2 after learning of memory issues with SP1. Does this sound sensible?

I will also be installing BAS onto a Windows 2000 server, but understand that only SP1 is supported with 5.1.2. Once again I would like to install SP2 onto Windows 2000 server, but unsure if others have had problems with BAS after doing this.

Anyone else having to make these decisions at the moment?

Thanks

We have done a quick test of BO5.1 on W2K SP1, and didn’t seem to have any issues other than the usual cut & paste.

We are running BAS 5.1.2 + CSP 119 on W2K SP2 in production with out issue.

I would suggest you go to the latest service pack of the OS, MS wouldn’t put them out if they weren’t needed.

Support for BO on Citrix/TSE states that you have to be able to replicate the issue on a non-terminal server version of the OS anyway, so if you have issues you have to try and replicate them on a ‘truely supported’ platform anyway.
