Citrix Presentation Server Clients - Version 10.0 released

 The Citrix Presentation Server Client Package is a three-in-one package of ICA clients.  Based on Windows Installer technology (.msi), the client package provides an easy-to-use wizard that guides one through the installation and configuration steps for any or all of these individual clients:

  • Program Neighborhood
  • Program Neighborhood Agent
  • Web Client

The Citrix Streaming Client is a new client introduced with the Presentation Server 4.5 release.  This client is used when Streaming Applications to the Desktop

Highlights of new features included in Citrix Presentation Server Clients - Version 10.0

Citrix Presentation Server Clients - Version 10.0 allow added support for new operating systems

• Windows XP (x64 edition)
• Windows XP Embedded
• Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs
• Citrix Support for Microsoft Vista (YIPPEE)

Application streaming. The Program Neighborhood Agent now operates with the Citrix Streaming Client to provide application streaming to the user desktop

as well as access to offline applications.

 

Non-administrator client installation

This feature allows client users who do not have administrator privileges on a “locked down” computer, such as an Internet cafe or kiosk, to download the Ica32pkg.msi package and install a modified Web Client on a per-user basis

 

Trusted server configuration. This feature is designed to identify and enforce trust relations involved in client connections. This trust relationship increases the

confidence of client administrators and users in the integrity of data on client devices and prevents the malicious use of client connections.

 

Multilingual User Interface (MUI). The Windows Installer package includes a Multilingual User Interface, meaning it automatically installs the clients in all

supported languages

 

32-bit color icon support. This feature supports high color icons and automatically selects the color depth for applications visible in the Program Neighborhood Connection Center

 

Program Neighborhood Agent backup URL support. Administrators can specify backup URLs for Program Neighborhood Agent in their Web Interface

configuration.

 

SpeedScreen Multimedia Acceleration.

 

Enhanced proxy detection support. This feature automatically detects a proxy server so users do not have to configure the proxy server manually.

 

Program Neighborhood Agent support through the Access Gateway.

 

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) support. The Clients for Windows now support the AES cipher for connections using TLS.

 

A few things have been remove / Discontinued from Client 10.0

Beginning with Version 10.0 of the Clients for Windows, the option to use InstallShield client packages is no longer available. In addition, the Client Auto Update feature, which was used to update the InstallShield client packages, is also no longer available. To deploy updated clients, you can use the Citrix Web Interface, or third-party products or desktop management software that can distribute Microsoft Software Installer (MSI) packages, including Windows Active Directory.

 

 

IPX, SPX, and NetBios network protocols are no longer supported for client connections to computers running Citrix Presentation Server. To reconfigure connections, use Properties. To create a new connection, use the Add ICA Connection wizard and select a supported connection protocol.

 

ICA dial-in connections to computers running Citrix Presentation Server are no longer supported. To connect to modems, use Microsoft Remote Access Service (RAS).
