Hi<br />
<br />
We are running a Presentation Server 4 Advanced farm with 3 Citrix servers, a licensing server, and an SQL database server that acts as the datastore.<br />
<br />
Question - is there a way to make changes to the Citrix farm (i.e. add/remove published apps) if we lose the datastore? We want to ensure that if we lose the site (our HQ) that our datastore is held, we can still edit publications and disable/enable applications based on what servers at HQ have gone down.<br />
<br />
So far, the only suggestion is two have another database server acting as a datastore and configure replication between them, but is there anything else people can think off?<br />
<br />
Any help much appreciated.<br />
<br />
Cheers

Making Citrix farm changes if Database server is down

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Citrix is the synonym for the virtualization and application infrastructure systems developed by the company of the same name. Main areas are application virtualization, Software-As-A-Service (SaaS), cloud-computing and networking. The two most well-known are Citrix XenApp or Citrix CloudPlatform.

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
