SUMMARY

You can upgrade your computer from Citrix WinFrame 1.7 to Terminal Server Edition 4.0. This article describes a few differences that occur during Setup that do not occur in a typical Terminal Server installation.

MORE INFORMATION

Early in the upgrade process, you receive a message stating that the existing WinFrame connections are preserved but disabled. This means that the Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) connection definitions from WinFrame's winstation configuration are disabled.

To re-enable ICA connection definitions, you must obtain Citrix's add-on product (MetaFrame) for Terminal Server. You can use MetaFrame to allow a Citrix ICA client to use an ICA connection as defined in the Terminal Server Connection Configuration to connect to the Terminal Server computer.

After you upgrade, the defined ICA connections are not preserved. If you open the Terminal Server Connection Configuration, only the default RDP-TCP connection is displayed. (This is a known problem in Terminal Server.)

During the upgrade, you have the option of installing Microsoft Internet Information Server, but you do not have the option to install Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0. (This is also a known problem in Terminal Server.) You can install Internet Explorer 4.0 from the Terminal Server CD-ROM.

Otherwise, the upgrade preserves user accounts and groups, including any account options such as the Terminal Server profile path, connection timeouts, and other options specific to WinFrame/Terminal Server. Also, if WinFrame's hard disk letters were modified (typically drive C becomes drive M, drive D becomes drive N, and so on), these modifications are preserved.

A number of Citrix registry values are also preserved. These values are located in the following registry keys:

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
