CiTRiX Metaframe Server

[haemphyst]

I LOVE this forum... I keep thinking of things that are wrong with my network, and posting the issues... I should go back to work <grin>

Anyway, I have a CiTRiX server, running Win2K, but it is only service packed to level 2. My software manufacturer said there MAY be some issues with SP4 and my practice management software, which resides on a different server, so it is only at level SP3. I have gotten as many of the security patches as I can from MS, applied them, and all seems to be going well, but I am still afraid there are security holes that need to get plugged. That server notwithstanding, my real worry is the CiTRiX server and it's service pack level 2. I have been told that terminal services CRAWLS at a snail's pace when patched with SP3, but what about SP4? Are there really any issues with it? I am getting a little worried about my network... this thing is sitting there, a huge security problem. Please, and suggestions would be appreciated.

SP4 can be applied to a citrix server but you need to apply many patches and fixes after words. SP4 breaks as much as it fixes in a Citrix server. SP3 can applied, it doesn't bring it to a crawl. Your best bet is to either post in the Citrix forum or go to the knowledge base on Citrix's website.

I'm running 12 Metaframe XPe servers all running Windows SP4 (and all the latest hotfixes)with no issues.

At the very least, patch your web server running NFuse with all the latest and greatest (assuming it's a different server!). If it IS the same server, patch right away, ... SP2 has a ton of exploits floating around.
