advice on server consolidation

[Guest pheonix1t@gmail.com]

hello,

I have to install a new win2k3 TS with citrix. This is in a novell

network (had 1 active directory server but caused too many head-aches

with 2 logins for users).

 

I'd like to confirm a few things:

1) Can I run the licensing server on the same TS server box so I

don't need to have 2 boxes (one is wasted for just doing licensing).

 

2) I also need to run citrix on this box, can I run citrix on term

server doing it's own licensing?

 

3) We are using citrix XP (a bit old now). We have to use a citrix

gateway running on a dmz box for metaframe XP. Does the new version

of citrix still require seperate machine running as a gateway?

 

4) For authentication I'd like to use the novell edirectory. Can

anyone see any problems from this? I like to use the novell system

for storing files because it doesn't get corrupt like the windows

servers do after a few years. It's just more reliable and less head-

aches for me since I have to maintain this thing.

Any issues with running terminal services authenticating to

edirectory?

 

Thanks,

 

Oskar

You can Install Terminal Server and Terminal Server License Server on the

same box.
