à To publish an application in a server farm
In order to publish an application in a server farm, the server or server which is to
host the application must be a member of a farm. Make sure the server is a
member of a farm before attempting to publish the application. See “Joining a
Server Farm” earlier in this chapter for more information.
1. Make sure you are in the server farm management scope. (From the View
menu, click Select Scope. In the dialog box that appears, click the Within a
Citrix server farm radio button and then select the farm of which the server is
a member in the Select a Citrix server farm pull-down list.)
2. Make sure you are viewing the server on which you want to publish the
application. (From the View menu, click Select Server. In the dialog box that
appears, select the server from the list and click OK. If the server does not
immediately appear in the list, click Refresh Server List.)
3. From the Application menu, click New to start the Application wizard. Click
Help in any screen of the wizard for additional help.
In addition to specific applications, you can also publish a Citrix server
desktop. When users connect to published applications configured as desktop
sessions, the users are presented with a standard Windows NT desktop. Publishing
a desktop session provides redundancy and scalability. Users can access Windows
NT desktops without knowing individual server names. In addition, servers can be
added to a server farm and capacity increased without reconfiguring user
connections. Configure a desktop session by creating a published application
without specifying a command line and working directory.
Published Application Manager includes the Windows NT domains scope of
management to provide backward compatibility and interoperability with existing
Citrix server installations (W
INFRAME 1.7 and MetaFrame 1.0) that contain
existing published applications. Using Published Application Manager to publish
applications in this scope results in applications that are not enabled for automatic
configuration of Program Neighborhood sessions.
à To publish an application on a non-server farm server
1. Make sure you are in the Windows NT domains management scope. (From the
View menu, click Select Scope. In the dialog box that appears, click the Using
only NT Domains radio button and then select the domain on which the server
is a member in the domain list.
2. Make sure you are viewing the server on which you want to publish the
application. (From the View menu, click Select Server. In the dialog box that
appears, select the server from the list and click OK. If the server does not
immediately appear in the list, click Refresh Server List.)
3. From the Application menu, click New to start the Application wizard. Click
