Building a citrix xenapp 6.5 farm

Hi I am building a xenapp 6,5 farm.
Can you please tell me all the steps I have to go through.
We also use roaming profiles.

So far I created an OU with all the policies applied to it (including outlook ADM, hiding drives etc,,,)
I created the license server.
Created the first citrix server (Datacollector) this one will be dedicated so won't have applications.
And created 6 other servers that will hold my applications.
Now I am above to create the web interface,
Then install the citrix rollup patches

Thanks.

So at you are good and make sure about load balancing of applications and acess to users/security. Once you done with Citrix check with network team an make sure they have allowed all the Citrix traffic in your network. Do you have platinum license means setup edge sight for Citrix monitoring, alerts to troubleshoot the issue.

It would always be good to have at least two Data Collectors for fault tolerance/redundancy.
Also I would recommend to have two web interfaces for redundancy and you can also use them for load balancing.
Configure your Data Collectors as XML on the web interfaces.
If you have firewalls in between your servers and clients ensure the correct ports are opened.
You will also need to deploy the Citrix plugin (Citrix Receiver) on all your client machines.

Don't forget to turn on loopback for your policies, and segregate your roaming profiles for the XA environment. (typically, the XA policies are much more restrictive than a 'regular' desktop, and you don't want them 'polluting' each other.)
