XADM: Install Exchange Server & Client 5.0 w/ Citrix WinFrame (175977)

SUMMARY

Citrix WinFrame is a multi-user Windows application server based on Windows NT 3.51 under license from Microsoft which supports enterprise application deployment using a thin client architecture. This network-centric approach includes Citrix ICA-based universal client software that works in conjunction with WinFrame application server software. Thin client architecture provides the high-performance and universal application access needed by users while the application server offers I/S professionals the economic benefits of single-point administration.

ICA (Independent Computing Architecture) is a general-purpose presentation services protocol for Microsoft Windows, which allows an application's user interface to execute with minimal resource consumption on a client device, while the application logic executes on ICA-servers. With the appropriate ICA client software, users can access standard 16- and 32-bit Windows applications running on a remote ICA-based server by launching them from Web-based HTML pages or from Windows desktops over dial-up, LAN, WAN, or Internet connections.

Both Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Exchange Client can be run on a Citrix WinFrame server. In a standard configuration, Exchange Server is installed and runs as a service on primary domain controller (PDC), which can be a WinFrame server or a computer running Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. The Exchange Client is installed on all other WinFrame servers. Users connect to the WinFrame servers and run Exchange Client, which then accesses Exchange Server.

Software requirements for running Exchange Server and Exchange Client on a WinFrame server are:

• Winframe Version 1.6 with Service Pack 5 or WinFrame version 1.7
• Microsoft Exchange Server and Client version 5.0
