We have been using Citrix for about 6 months. It is reliable (except you
need to reboot it daily). It will cure your printing problems.
Citrix requires NT Terminal Server, or Win 2000. So you can just install
Citrix on your existing Terminal Server. (Make sure you order the version of
Citrix that matches your TS operating system)
You can install and setup Citrix, including publishing Vantage in about a
day on the server. Then just setup your clients (about 5 mins. Each)
As far as problems with this go, I think it is a very good solution. Users
that use the keyboard primarily will on occasion have an issue where a
screen is hidden behind another screen. The user has to (alt + tab) or move
screens with the mouse to find the active screen. But that has been very
rare for us. The setup should be very similar to that of your existing
Terminal Server, so I don't see where you should have any problems setting
it up.
I think you're heading in the right direction.

Subject: [Vantage] Citrix w/Terminal Server
We have been using Terminal Server at our remote site since April.
Recently, we brought on our second remote site, and are using
Terminal Server there as well. We are now having remote printing
issues.
We would now like to install Citrix to hopefully resolve some of those
issues. If anybody is using Terminal Server with Citrix, could you
please answer a couple of questions for me?
1.) From your experience, will Installing Citrix be a reliable
solution and will it help alleviate our Terminal Server printing
issues?
2.) Can we install Citrix directly on top of our existing Terminal
Server Application, or does it have to be installed separately?
3.) Any approximation on how long the Citrix install and set-up will
take?
4.) Are there any problems that you can foresee or that you have
experienced that we should be aware of before beginning this task?
Thank you so much for any feedback you can provide as this is
becoming a huge issue for us!
Thanks!!
