Proper upgrade path for upgrading from Citrix Presentation Server 4 to Xenapp 5

I recently had a discussion with some guys from Citrix and asked about the optimal way of upgrading Presentation server 4 to Xenapp 5.

Here is there recommendation

1) Upgrade the licensing and upload the new license file onto the license server

2) Run the upgrade on the server acting as the Resource Manager

3) Upgrade the remaining servers in whatever order you choose

Hope this helps!

Windows 7 seminar in Winnipeg

I attended a Windows 7 presentation last night at the convention centre and you know what I think, Windows 7 might be the best windows desktop OS ever released. Now before Microsoft draws too much pride from that statement let me tell you why. Every single feature they demo'd last night, every cool function, every interesting addition was completely and utterly ripped off from someone else. My friend and I had a game going to see who could identify whom they ripped off first.

Seriously Microsoft, innovation and creativity are just words to you aren't they.

Though I guess some credit is due, they at least ripped off the good features ....

Hi All

My name is Jason Tramer. I am a Systems Engineer living in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I work for a IT consulting company called Epic Information Solutions. I'm rather well known among my circle of friends for my shall we say caustic sense of humour and ability to rant about the things that annoy me. So this blog will be a combination of Rants as we as serious posts about problems and IT issues I encounter.
