In order to take advantage of the features of Program Neighborhood and the administrative organization of the server farm, you must publish and manage your applications using the server farms management scope.

?

Use the Windows NT domains scope only if you:

• Cannot add your servers to a server farm

• Need to maintain applications that were both published prior to installation of MetaFrame 1.8 and cannot be migrated into a server farm

Server Farm Scopes

When the server farms scope of management is used, group the Citrix servers (MetaFrame 1.8 and WinFrame 1.8) into one or more server farms. When creating a server farm, keep the following in mind:

• Common administrators rights. The individuals responsible for administration of a farm should have administrative rights over each server in the farm. When you log into a Citrix server console or ICA session and run Published Application Manager, you administer applications under the context of your current Windows NT user name. Although you can view the applications on other servers in the farm without having administrative rights over those servers, you cannot publish or edit applications on those servers.If you need to run Published Application Manager to publish applications, make sure you have administrative privileges on each server in the farm.

• Common base of user accounts. Server farms can include servers, and therefore users, from multiple domains. All ICA Client users must belong to a group of users common to all involved domains. Published Application Manager draws a common user account base from the intersection of the trust relationships of all affected Windows NT domains.

• Physical Connection. Servers in a farm must be connected by some form of network connection. Some possible network connections include LAN, WAN, and dial-up asynchronous connections. Servers can be on different subnets if an ICA Gateway is in place to connect them. ICA Gateways are administered from Citrix Server Administration.

Windows NT Domain Scopes

If you do not add your servers to a Citrix server farm, Published Application Manager functions in the Windows NT domains scope of management. In this scope, the applications you publish do not support Program Neighborhood features.

The Windows NT domains scope exists for backward compatibility and interoperability with existing WinFrame 1.7 and MetaFrame 1.0 installations.
