How do I install Citrix Metaframe?
March 4, 1999
A. Citrix Metaframe is an add-on to Windows NT Terminal Server andalthough there is currently no version for Windows 2000 it is underdevelopment. To install perform the following:
Logon as an Administrator on the Terminal Server box
Insert the Citrix Metaframe CD and click the "MetaFrame Setup"button (or run setup.exe from the I386 directory on the CD-ROM)
Click Next to the install wizard dialog
Click Next to the copy files dialog
The license dialog will then be shown. Click the "Add LicensePacks" button to add the basic MetaFrame license. Enter the serial numberon the back of the CD and click OK. Click No to install other license packs.Click Next to the main license dialog
Click Next to the ICA connections protocol dialog (these are the protocolsthat clients may connect over).
You may select to install TAPI modems for connection, to configure clickAdd Modems. A list of installed modems will be shown, select the modem andclick Close. Click Next to the main TAPI dialog
Next the ability to access local drives on the client are displayed. Bydefault the servers drives will be the same on the client, e.g. C: is C:, andthe client drives will be visible starting from V: working downwards, e.g.local C: would be V:, local D: would be U:. Click Next
You have the option to remap server drives so that clients would see theirlocal drives as C:, D: etc and the servers drives will be changed to M:, N:etc. I would advise against this unless you are very confident of what you aredoing. Click Next.

Once the machine has rebooted upon logon a new toolbar is added to yourdesktop which allows control of the MetaFrame environment.
