Windows NT Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame

Windows NT Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame is a technical reference that will cover in detail 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 of an overview nature - consider it more "prepatory" 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 thorniest and most taxing issues involving thin client administration. It's no surprise that most administration headaches revolve around integration with other networks and clients. This book addresses these types of real world issues on a case-by-case basis, giving tools and advice on solving each.

Designed to cover aspects of planning, installing, administering and troubleshooting, this book covers the Citrix Picasso add-one product for use in heterogeneous networking environments.
