  • 1.  Older Citrix Presentation server in ESXi 5

    Posted Aug 17, 2012 01:39 PM

    We have a Citrix server that is currently being powered by a peg-legged hamster and held together with duct tape.Cost is an issue so we got a quote for a decent server that can be expanded. We'd like to install ESXi 5 and have the Citrix Presentation server on a 2003 R2 VM. To save money, they don't want to upgrade to a newer version of Citrix so we will be migrating.

    They currently have Citrix Presentation Server version 4.5. Will that work in ESXi 5 (on a 2003 R2 VM)?

    TIA!

    I agree with vmroyale, this will work just fine. In February I installed a few hundred XenApp 5 servers (which basically is PS 4.5) on Windows 2003. If you are going to reinstall, consider to align the guest OS partitions to 1024kB (Windows 2003 does not do a proper alignment).
