Citrix XML Port Change
The XML port is used by TCP clients to connect to your Citrix server. If you install the Citrix MetaFrame 1.8 Service Pack 2 and reboot your Citrix server, the Citrix XML binaries are placed on the system. It does not matter if the Citrix XML service was not installed on the system. Only the MetaFrame XP version installs the Citrix XML Service by default. A common problem with MetaFrame 1.8 is that it uses port 8080, so it does not share the port with IIS (Internet Information Services). To overcome this issue, users must manually change the Citrix XML port.
