In this article, Yuri Haak discusses the various network adapter teaming options and what makes sense in Terminal Server and Citrix environments. Though it's written for HP servers, the same concepts apply to any server brand.

Citrix's Web Interface is a popular way for users to connect to their ICA applications running on Citrix Presentation Servers. Unfortunately, if a Web Interface server fails then users lose access to their applications. The good news is that you have several options when it comes to load-balancing these two servers, and some of your options are free and easy to set up!

A lot of people have recently asked me how to configure load-balancing in pure Terminal Server environments. This is a topic that Ron and I covered in our Terminal Server book, so I've pulled out that section for this article.

A year ago, Gabe Knuth and I wrote our first server-based computing software roundup that included a head-to-head comparison of Citrix MetaFrame, Terminal Server, Tarantella (New Moon), Jetro, and DAT Panther. We've just updated the article and the feature matrix, and we've also added coverage of Ericom WebConnect and HOBlink.

This technique, developed by Ken Smith and written up by Scott Chiara, allows administrators of large Citrix MetaFrame farms to easily move servers from an online to an offline state with the ability to centrally see which servers are in which state.
