Install new application on Citrix server

[Anddmx]

So when its time to install new application on Citrix server I just install the application and then the Citrix manager replicates to the other Citrix servers in the farm.
Is there any step by step process I should do, check down list anything to avoid any complications when installing new applications.

Thanks again

Make sure you are in install mode.

Change user /install

change user /execute

Thanks,

What version of MetaFrame are you using? If you have MetaFrame XPe then you can use installation manager which is very similar the the application deployment features of Group Policy, with a few added features.

Best to test your deployments in a lab environment before rolling them out (untested) to a production environment.

If you don't have XPe then you have do do things the manual way, like listed here:

Don't know about the installation manager, but if you do it manually, be sure to use add/remove programs in the configuration panel. This way the server will be in installation mode, which you need to install new programs correctly. The farm doesn't replicate the installations (in general, you wouldnt want to either) so you'll have to install it on all your servers this way.
Good luck!

Citrix 1.8 metaframe

If you're using 1.8 then you need to do things the manual way (just like on any TS w/o Citrix), as listed here:
