I have a new issue… I am updating all Edgesight XenApp agents to 5.2 and I have problem on only some servers. These servers have remapped drivers ( m: & n: ) and run Windows 2003 R2 Sp2.

This video shows the way you have to follow to update your Citrix Edgesight 5.01 to 5.01 with SP1. You have to log in Windows with the database service account if possible because for a reason I haven’t understand yet, as I’m using a nlb IIS Cluster with nlb SQL Reporting Services and a SQL 2005 cluster database, I was not able to complete the installation of Edgesight 5.01 SP1. (Watch bellow the version you’ll get)

During my experimental EdgeSight setup, I have to face different error, mostly because everything was not ready or not well configure on my side but it can happen.
I have install two Edgesight web server (Esx nlb) and two SQL Reporting Services server (Esx nlb too) with a database store on a SQL 2005 cluster.
I didn’t had the hand on the setup of the two nlb so things where a bit hard to understand since there is quiet a lot of issue and things to do to enable two VMWare ESX nlb communication. (I’m still working on it, any informations are welcome 
)
I will update this post everytime I will have an error, I hope it will help some of you.
- Error : Setup was unable to locate the requiered SQL Server Client Tools. The SQL Server Client Tools can usually be located on the SQL Server installation disk.
You just have to install client components of SQL Server 2005 (or 2008) and RTM first

This short video was made to help begginner or people who want to know a bit more about this Citrix product. This is a very simple way to install Citrix Edegesight 5.01 on a Windows 2003 server.
What you need to set up before is IIS role install on the server and a SQL database. I have try with SQL Express 2005 Adv edition but it wasn’t possible to finish the installation. I’ll try to find out about this issue (-2147217900 error)
Edit 01 dec 2008:
SQL Express is not supported by Citrix but it works. EdgeSight 5.01 on a W2K8 Server with SQL2008 with Advanced Services work, you just have to give the correct ReportServer URL wich is for SQL Express: http://%servername%/ReportServer_SQLEXPRESS (Tip from Pierre)
Anyway, check this video, click on continue reading…
