| If the MetaFrame Access Suite Design requires MetaFrame XP servers to reside in more than the default zone, you will need to create the additional zones and manually move the desired MetaFrame XP Servers to their desired zone. In a MetaFrame XP server farm, a zone is a grouping of MetaFrame XP servers that share a common data collector, as described in the design section. By default, all servers in a farm that are on the same network subnet belong to the same zone. Zones are designed to enhance the performance of a Citrix server farm by allowing geographically related servers to be grouped together, whether they are connected to the same network subnet or not. The following steps will allow you to create a new zone and then move the desired Citrix servers to the new zone. 1. Open the Management Console for MetaFrame XP and right Click on Farm Name in the left pane and click Properties 
2. Click to select Zones and click the New Zone button. 
3. Enter the name for the new zone and click OK to continue. 
4. Click the server you want to move to the new Zone and click the Move Servers button 
Important: Empty zones are not allowed. After you create a new zone, you must move one or more servers into the zone before you click OK to exit. 5. Changing the servers zone membership requires a Server reboot. Click Yes to continue. 
6. The Move Servers dialog box opens and you are able to select the Zone you want to move the selected Servers to. In the Select Target Zone drop down box select the Zone you want to move the selected servers. 
7. Click OK to return to the Zones page. 
8. The Only zone data collectors enumerate Program Neighborhood checkbox in conjunction with Windows Group Policy allows for you to make your server farm more secure. 
When this option is not selected, any server in the farm can respond to client enumeration requests. For any server in the farm to enumerate users' applications, you must add all users the Windows Group Policy right to log on locally to every server. When this option is selected, a data collector is always used to specify which applications appear for a user in Program Neighborhood. You have now successfully created a new Zone and have moved the selected Citrix Servers to the new zone. Make sure you reboot the server for the zone membership change to take place.
