Getting Oriented in MetaFrame XP
This book is task-oriented: rather than run through a list of available tools, then discuss how to
use them, I’ll introduce management tasks that you’ll need to fulfill and explain how to
accomplish them using the tools available to you. To make that work, however, you’ll need to
know where the tools controlling the settings are located. Therefore, in this section I’ll introduce
the available tools and explain how to get to them. This discussion isn’t a complete how-to, just a
road map.
There are two main groupings of MetaFrame settings. ICA client configuration settings are found
in the Citrix, MetaFrame XP program group and the ICA Administrator Toolbar; and server-
related settings are available from the Citrix Management Console.
ICA® Client Configuration Settings
MetaFrame has had a Citrix program group containing links to its management tools since
version 1.0. These tools were also available from a taskbar normally located along the right-hand
side of the screen, containing icons for some management tasks. (You can also drag this toolbar
to another border of the screen or drag it to the middle to make it a freestanding toolbar.) You
could get to the icons quickly from this toolbar, but doing so requires that you be pretty familiar
with the tool icons, as the icons themselves are no more intuitive than Windows icons generally
are. Figure 1.1 shows the ICA Administrator Toolbar as a freestanding desktop object and
identifies each icon.
Figure 1.1: The ICA Administrator toolbar contains links to ICA-related tools and a shortcut to the Citrix
Management Console.
In the following sections, we’ll look at what each of these tools does.
