Enhanced Citrix Management
Console
Licensing and Server sections of
the Citrix Management Console
now have more sections.
(Additionally, some dialog boxes
have more or different sections to
accommodate new features
added with FR1.)
Works just like the previous Citrix
Management Console, but with
the addition of new tools and
capabilities. Online Help color-
codes features included only in
FR1, so you won’t be confused
about available options if not all
servers have FR1 applied.
ICA® Session Monitoring (XPe
only)
Monitors ICA network traffic.
Gather network usage data to
make sure that you’ve got
enough bandwidth for all the
tasks MetaFrame users are
trying to perform.
Improved Printing Performance
ICA performance has been
streamlined to reduce print time
by as much as 50 percent over
slow links.
Reduces printing time for
connections over the WAN.
Novell® NDS® Support
Allows you to publish
applications and content to
Novell Network Directory
Services (NDS) users and
groups, as you currently can with
AD.
Use MetaFrame servers with
Novell networks instead of just
Windows networks.
Program Neighborhood® Agent
Enables you to push applications
to the desktop of computers that
don’t have a user-configurable
ICA client.
Allows you to prevent users from
reconfiguring the ICA client.
SSL Encryption
Passes ICA traffic through a
firewall using secure HTTP.
Make MetaFrame servers
available through the Internet
without compromising server
security.
Support for NFuse 1.6
Next generation of MetaFrame’s
Program Neighborhood in a
browser.
NFuse makes it possible to
display applications from many
MetaFrame servers (Windows
and Unix) in a single browser
window, surrounded by user-
customized text.
ThinWire Performance
Enhancements
Reduces per-connection
bandwidth requirements for
connections using 24-bit color
over slow connections.
Allows users connecting to the
MetaFrame server over a dial-up
connection to more easily use
color-rich displays.
Table 1.3: New features included in FR1.
This book will not automatically assume that everyone reading it has installed FR1. Rather, I’ll
discuss the capabilities of MetaFrame XP on its own, but then point out places in which FR1 has
made a difference in the way the MetaFrame server works. Not all the servers in a farm must
have FR1 installed, although it may make server management easier.
You will need to license FR1. We discussed SA earlier in this chapter. Those who have SA have
already paid for FR1; those who haven’t bought SA will need to purchase FR1 separately. FR1
licenses will appear in the Licensing tool (discussed later in this chapter) both on the Summary
tab of any MetaFrame server with FR1 installed and on the License Numbers tab.
