Citrix - Presentation Server or XenServer, and clients?
Windows 2003 Standard Server R2, WinXP Pro SP3, and Win7 Pro.
I'm trying to determine which desktop client I need?
When I check the Citrix app on the server it says "Citrix Presentation Server Version 4.5.1". When I check Citrix's site for desktop clients I don't find Presentation Server, I see Xen this and that.
So is Presentation server v4.5.1 also known as a Xen server, or are they two different products? If it is a Xen server, what version is it? I don't see v4.5.1 for Xen server on Citrix's site.

I see the Online Plug-In Version 12 on Citrix's site. Would this be considered the client?
And would it be correct to say that Presentation Server 4.5 Release 1 has been branded as or is known as XenApp 5 Feature Pack 1 for Windows 2003?
And thanks for schooling me on the subtle differences between XenApp and XenServer.

We're not using the web interface at this point. I'm reading some of the doc's on Citrix's site, and it says the Online Plug-in requires the web interface. I'm still digging for the latest client I would use to connect to the server from XP Pro and Win 7 Pro.

Here's a link that may sort out the confusion about the clients and their names and what used for what.

Other questions I have regards a couple of config settings for the old ICA client. What's the difference between choosing the Http and Tcp\IP protocol setting vs the Tcp\IP protocol setting? And the LAN vs WAN connection setting?

Thanks guys, I've got it sorted out now. I found the legacy clients and downloaded XenApp version 11. I have it installed and am now connected.
