 Proof of Concept
November 7, 2003 Client: DABCC.COM Executive Sponsor: Douglas Brown, Owner Project: Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite Deployment The Proof of Concept (POC) phase of the project is designed to determine the capabilities of the proposed MetaFrame Access Suite deployment to achieve the vision of the project. During the POC, a prototype MetaFrame Access Suite environment is built, complete with all necessary applications, printers, etc. The applications are then exhaustively tested to evaluate their functionality in a MetaFrame XP/Terminal Server environment. For each item, results are documented and necessary adjustments are made. This document is a summary report of the POC procedures. This Proof of Concept document is divided into the following sections: Environment Specifications Environment Setup Procedures Test Cases Test Case Adjustments Conclusion

2. 0. Environment Setup Procedures 2. 1. Server Build Procedures The Citrix MetaFrame Access Suite Server and all other servers used in the Proof of Concept will be configured to production standards according to D&D Consulting methodology, including server security and optimization. This is done so that if the Proof of Concept is successful, the server environment will become the foundation for the production MetaFrame Access Suite deployment. For details regarding the design of the MetaFrame XP, MetaFrame Secure Access Manager, Web Interface, or the Secure Gateway for MetaFrame, refer to the MetaFrame Access Suite Design document provided by D&D Consulting. The following is a basic checklist for a MetaFrame XP server: q Install Server Operating System with latest Service Pack and necessary Hotfixes q Install necessary services and uninstall unnecessary services q Configure networking and domain identification on the server q Change the SNMP Service so that the public community has read write rights q Set all NICs on the server to 100 Mbps and Full Duplex q Configure local security on the Citrix server q Activate Terminal Services Licensing Server and Terminal Server CALs q Install Citrix MetaFrame XP latest Feature Release and Service Pack q Configure Citrix licensing on the server q Install Citrix Installation Manager (if applicable) q Install Citrix Resource Manager (if applicable) q Configure SpeedScreen for the server q Configure connection settings q Setup the ICA Client Update Configuration q Configure server optimizations and tuning q Lock down the server using NTFS security rights and system policies q Configure printing on the server q Install and configure applications q Configure SpeedScreen for individual applications q Publish Applications q Create an Emergency Repair Disk q Install other applicable components (MetaFrame Conferencing Manager, Web Interface, Secure Gateway, etc.) q Test server and applications
