Windows NT Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame Summary

Windows NT Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame by Ted Harwood

Windows NT Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame is a technical reference that details all aspects of planning, installing, administering, and troubleshooting Microsoft Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame systems. MetaFrame greatly enhances the usability of NT as a thin-client solution, but the heterogeneous networking issues involved in its integration will be a significant source of information pain. Part I begins with an in-depth look at the technology, and how its relevant to the NT administrator. This material is not an overview, but more preparatory material for real-world administration. Part II goes into the real nuts and bolts of thin client administration, covering such relevant issues as installation, configuration, network connection, management, and application distribution. Part III covers the most difficult issues involving thin client administration. This book addresses the real world issues you face, on a case-by-case basis, with tools and advice on solving them.
