Summary: A Consultant's Dream
Review: After 5 minutes with this book I decided to pay what ever price they wanted for the book. I am a citrix instructor in connecticut and this book is the number one recommendation for all my citrix students. Don't leave home without it.

Summary: Excellent resource for Citrix users
Review: I find that Brian Madden has an excellent understanding of Citrix environments, but knows next to nothing about Arby's roast beef sandwiches.

Summary: The best material out there for Citrix
Review: I had a real tough time searching the Internet and all other places to get some real stuff on Citrix and my search ended with "this" book by "Brain" Madden.Citrix will notice a sizeable improvement in their sales if they include this book with their product. Everything is explained clearly with visuals and no filler material. One of the best Tech Books to hit the market in recent times.

Summary: This book is SWEET!
Review: I picked up this book for free (and got it autographed by Brian) at iForum last week. I must say that it is sweet. I stayed up almost all night and read half the book. The book is VERY thorough (almost too much info in some places although maybe that will be good when we do the implementation). It is really useful for me, since we're doing a MetaFrame 1.8 to XP upgrade right now. This book covers the complete design steps for the new system. One note of caution: This book DOES NOT replace the instruction manual. (I read the manual on the way down and the book on the way back.) I think that was a good combination--the manual explains how things are supposed to work and this book explains how things really work. My only complaint is that this book is very thick--800 pages. Good for content, bad for my briefcase!

Summary: Excellent Read. Must Have for any Citrix Admin
Review: I recieved this book at IForum and when I saw it I was like WHOA! I didn't think I'd find it interesting at all. But as I started reading I was impressed at the amount of usefull information was in the book. This book covers everything you need to know about MetaFrame XP, and how to setup your enviroment. I'm new to the MetaFrame product but with the knowledge I've picked up from this book I can go back to senior management and make recommendations on how to implement a succesfull MetaFrame farm. This is the first technical book I read without skipping chapters. Every chapter is a must read. Job well done Brian. Mario Londoño

Summary: The best stuff about Citrix out there
Review: In my opinion, this book is the ONLY interesting published book about Citrix until now. I have read most of the available books about Citrix and Terminal Services and this is the only one I would buy again. If you are a Citrix Certified Administrator, you will find this book very helpful. Personally speaking, I prefer it to most of the Citrix official documentation. Take into account that it is a book for people who already has a deep knowledge about Citrix. It is not a guide for begginers. It gives you hints to improve your own Citrix project methodology. Amazon guys, let me suggest this, please: If you are looking for a step-by-step begginers guide, have a look at Methodology in a Box (freely available at http://www.dabcc.com)

Summary: Implementing Citrix? You need this book.
Review: Not a book for beginners. This is written for engineers and people who already have a good grasp of the basics of Terminal Servers and Citrix. No "how to" install in this book, but rather how to design, implement, identify and resolve your own problems, with a lot of real-life examples. The style of the book (way it is written) makes a pleasant change from the usual technical books, as it addresses you like you know what you're talking about. You will come out with a clear understading of the issues you're facing and how to resolve them. This book is self-published, which makes it all the more remarkable. The book covers up to Windows 2000 and Mataframe XP FR2. I'm keen to see when the next edition comes out, and hpoefully it will concentrate on Windows 2003 + Metaframe 3.0

Summary: Sweet!
Review: This book is a must for Citrix technical support engineers.
This book is the best I have found for Citrix XP support reference and for understanding Metaframe concepts.
Brian communicates technical content with ease.
Thank you Brian!
