Video 4 - "Configuring Licensing & Configuring Farm Settings" - Manage licensing both when you set Citrix up initially, then when you add licenses later. Configure farm settings using the Citrix Metaframe Console - and learn when it's better to configure settings at the farm level, and when it's better to configure settings at the server level.

Video 7 - "Installing Applications to Presentation Server" - Add programs to your server, including both Citrix-friendly applications and applications that don't automatically work well in a Citrix environment - plus create isolation environments to prevent applications from conflicting with each other.
Video 8 - "Publishing Applications and Content (free video!)" - Publish applications and desktops for client use - and know when it's better to make applications available for users versus making the entire desktop available.
Video 9 - "Deploying Applications with Installation Manager" - Package software for quick deployment to multiple Citrix servers - and use Installation Manager to only go through the installation process once, no matter how many servers you're deploying the software to.
Video 10 - "Managing Loads and Load Balancing" - Manage traffic load and perform load balancing across the servers in your farm - learn how and when to use the default and advanced load evaluators, plus create and assign custom load balancers for more advanced load balancing needs.

Video 13 - "Enabling Web Access" - Enable web access to the applications installed on your Citrix servers - then configure a web interface site, paying attention to authentication, workspace control, setting up client proxies, and the different interfaces clients can use to access your web-enabled applications.

Video 15 - "Command Line Tools & Exam Review" - Learn which Citrix command line tools are really important to know for the exam and for using Citrix on the job - plus which tools probably won't show up on the exam but will make your life as a Citrix admin easier.
Video 16 - "Introducing the Presentation Server 4.5 Updates" - Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 includes a series of updates in this relatively minor release. However, most of these updates are related to the add-on components that enterprises gain with Platinum-level licensing. This first video in this update series will discuss all of the updates to the product while focusing specifically on those that target just Presentation Server and the 1Y0-259 CCA exam. In this video you'll learn about what features you should and shouldn't care about, and how the Citrix certification program has changed with the release of Presentation Server 4.5.
Video 17 - "Navigating Citrix's Updated Consoles" - One of the biggest changes between v4.0 and v4.5 is the movement of many administrative tasks from the Presentation Server Console to the Access Management Console. Yet not all of the administrative functionality has fully moved over with this release. This second video focuses on assisting you with understanding the differences and finding where the new configuration items are. You'll be surprised what elements have moved over and which still remain in the "old" console.
Video 18 - "New Features in Presentation Server 4.5" - Lastly is a focus on four new features that are specifically targeted towards Presentation Server itself. These four new features -- configuration logging, health monitoring & recovery, trusted server configuration, and updates to farm & server monitoring -- are discussed in depth in this final video. Each of these four new features is useful for managing and monitoring your Presentation Server infrastructure, and they are all critical topics in the updated CCA examination.
