Server2003 SP2 known issues with Citrix 4.0

[Adam Winebaugh]

I am getting mixed stories on wether or not I can upgrade to SP2 on my Windows Server (2003) becuase I have Citrix 4.0 installed. Does anyone know of any known issues working with this update?

Yes I did. The real issue is that I am updating to SP2 on 2003 server, THEN updating citrix to 4.5

However, I am a solid HP-UX SA, and I am not very familiar with anything other than HP-UX and Linux (at home use) so I was really inquiring as to what all needs to be done? Should I update citrix first or SP2? If I update to SP2 is it going to take down my citrix 4.0 until I get 4.5 installed. I am also trying to get a handle on what kind of downtime is going to be required.

>>Should I update citrix first or SP2?

Really doesn't matter in this case - both Citrix PS 4.0 and 4.5 supported on either win2003 sp1 and sp2.

>>If I update to SP2 is it going to take down my citrix 4.0 until I get 4.5 installed

No

In this situation I prefer to install microsoft update (service pack 2) firts, but it's only my feeling. You can install Citrix PS 4.5 first as well.
As common rule I always do backup before such installations.

Both upgrades went on without issues. It was suprisingly simple. I was under the impression from Microsoft that I would have severla issues. They were incorrect.
