Server Administrator Installation With Citrix
Citrix remaps all your hard drive letters when installed. For example, if you install Server Administrator
on drive C: and then install Citrix, it will change your drive letter C: to M:. The remapping results in
Server Administrator not working properly.
In order to avoid this problem, select one of these options:
Option 1:
1
Uninstall Server Administrator.
2 Install Citrix.
3 Reinstall Server Administrator.
Option 2:
After installing Citrix, type msiexec.exe /fa SysMgmt.msi.
Upgrading Managed System Software
The Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD features an Upgrade option for upgrading
Server Administrator and other managed system software.
When you insert the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD in your system's CD drive,
the Prerequisite Checker program uses your system's PCI bus to search for installed hardware, such as
controller cards.
The setup program installs or upgrades all of the managed system software features that are appropriate
for your particular system's hardware configuration.
