I have only ONE NT4 TS running Citrix Metaframe 1.8. We wish to upgrade to Windows 2000 and Metaframe XP. Is it as easy as just upgrading the OS and then upgrading Metaframe? Please provide links to whitepapers if possible since I have not been ableto find info on a one server upgrade.

Two things spring to mind immediately.

If you upgrade your version of the OS then your Metaframe System will not work. Metaframe 1.8 for NT 4 TSE does not work, as per the followin Citrix KB article

There is also the citrix migration white paper

Please remove any spaces from the URLs whe you copy and paste them.

Just a quick thing though - remember that you are going from a browser based system to a data base centric system with a single server I would suggest an Access data store. You willalso need to implement upgrade license for BOTH your servers and you clients otherwise nobody will be able to connect. And due to the fact that you metaframe system will not be working when you upgrade the OS you need to think of contingency for that or build the extra time into your plan.

One last word of warning - full verified system backup before you do anything.

If you upgrade to Metaframe XP before doing the OS you will need to reinstall XP after the OS upgrade.
