Summary: Requisite reading
Review: This is a great book. It covers all of the design and tuning needed for a Citrix environment. It includes desktop replacement strategies...the works. It is easy to understand and organized well.
I was forced to learn Metaframe 1.8 in a hurry and this book gave me the tools to be able to implement a robust thin-client solution.

Summary: VERY Good Book for Tips and Tricks
Review: This is an excellent follow-up to his first book on Terminal Server. By using the techniques in this book, you will increase both the stability and the performance of your Terminal Server. It is helpful for just 'plain vanilla' installations, and also those utilizing a Citrix solution. Great addition to anyone's 'Toolbox'.

Summary: What every IT/IS/MIS book should be like!
Review: This is simply an excellent piece of work. Terminal Server and MetaFrame are deceptively easy to install and connect to. They are, in fact, extremely complex. The issues surrounding global vs. user objects, NTFS file permissions, and user folder mapping can, and will, drive many -- if not most -- administrators crazy.Mr. Mathers has written a really useful book. If you're already familiar with the essentials of what's going on with the smoke-and-mirrors of this remote display technology, you might want to get started by going straight to the appendices. You absolutely must take his advice to heart that Terminal Server users must not have full access permissions, then you should follow his advice on what to do about all the problems that will be revealed by denying full access to users. Here is a stand-out reference among Windows-related books. As the saying goes, if you're going to have only one book this is the one.

Thin Client Solutions
Implementing Terminal Services and Citrix MetaFrame
AUTHOR: Todd W. Mathers
PUBLISHER: New Riders
REVIEWED BY: Barbara Rhoades BOOK REVIEW: Windows NT/2000 reminds a reader of "War and Peace" in that it contains over 800 pages of in-depth information. The font is a fairly readable size. Author's note, tips, warnings and many graphical examples can be found throughout the book. The Content section has 13 pages while the Index contains 44 information packed pages. With this much reference material, the reader should not lack the ability to locate the information he/she is seeking. Just in case this isn't enough, the book is divided into Parts and each Part lists what the Chapters of that Part contain. If the reader is building a "Windows NT or 200 thin client system", Windows NT/200, Thin Client Solutions, Implementing Terminal Services and Citrix MetaFrame should provide the answers.
