Welcome to Methodology in a Box (MIAB) – The Ultimate
Citrix Install Guide. MIAB is an award winning project oriented deployment
Citrix book designed to educate you on how to install Citrix and Microsoft
Terminal Services solutions. MIAB

Plus, much, more
Methodology in a Box is broken down in to five chapters;
analysis, design, implementation, readiness and rollout. I wrote this guide to
act as a starting point to teach basic project management and to help the
technicians and engineers who are tasked to install Citrix MetaFrame. I’m
very happy to say that over the years it has become much more than that.
I have also written this document in the same framework that
your project plan will use and throughout this document I have presented real
world examples from my personal experiences. To accomplish this, I have created
a fictitious consulting firm (D&D Consulting) and a customer called DABCC,
Inc. to add a sense of realism to the example project. I have also documented
systematic instructions on almost everything needed for a successful Citrix
deployment. My intentions are to make MIAB the base blueprint for a successful
deployment.
I’m also very happy to be announcing the upcoming release of
Methodology in a
Box
4.0
for Citrix Presentation Server 4.0.
This new web MIAB web site is just a start to what will become the NEW
Methodology in a Box Service, but I will explain more about that in the weeks
to come. In the mean time, take a
peek at the different MIAB versions pages available today and you will not only
find the project downloads but you will also find a new HTML version of MIAB
that is fully index for your ease of use.
Please have a play and let me know what you think.
Thanks and enjoy!
