| In order to install MetaFrame Password Manager you will need to prepare the central directory service you documented in the design phase. MetaFrame Password Manger supports Microsoft Active Directory and or a File Share directory. Ive been sort of partial to the file share as it comes with the same security without the headaches of expanding the Active Directory Schema. The following documents how to prepare the directory service of choice. Note: For this release of Methodology in a Box, Ive only documented the File Share option. I will be adding Active Directory information in future releases. For information on how to use Active Directory to store MetaFrame Password Managers data please refer to the Citrix MetaFrame Password Manager 2.0 Administrator Guide. The following is an example of the file structure created by using the File Share directory option. 
If you will be using a File Share to store MetaFrame Password Managers data, you will be required to create a directory on a file server and share it. This can be done in three ways, manually create a share, manually create a DFS share or use the ctxfilesyncprep utility to create the folder and share for you. For the ultimate high availability I recommend using a Microsoft Distributed File Shares (DFS) to accomplish this. With Microsoft Windows 2000 and Server 2003, you have the ability to create a replica and have it automatically synchronize the contents of the directory to the replica. This leaves you with a fault tolerant solution. I will document how to perform this task in the next version of this document. In the mean time please refer to Microsofts web site for more information on DFS. The following defines how to use the File Synchronization Setup Utility (ctxfilesyncpre) to create the required folder, share and security Password Manger will use to store its configuration data. 1. Insert the Citrix MetaFrame Password Manager 2.0 CDROM into the file server you want to create MetaFrame Password Managers directory. 2. Click Start click Run type: CMD and click OK browse to the Tools directory of the Password Manager CDROM and type: CtxFileSyncPrep /path:<pathname> /share:<sharename> <path> = Enter the drive letter and folder name to be created. If you do not include this parameter then %SystemDrive%\CIRTIXSYNC will be used. <share> = Enter the name to be given to the share. If you not to include this parameter CITRIXSYNC$ will be used. 
3. If all goes well you will see the following. 
4. Type Exit to close the command window. You have now successfully configured your environment to use a file share for MetaFrame Password Managers directory.
