Here are the techie guides - http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX117913 an upgrade
To do an OS upgrade with Citrix
*) Get *another* server(s)
*) put the new os on the new server(s)
*) put citrix on the new server (s)
*) put the apps on the new server (s)
*) test the server (s)
*) test the server (s)
*) test the server(s)
*) test the server(s)
*) put your users on the new server
*) repeat ad lib until v6.0
Feature matrix for 5.0 is here:
2008 has some better performance features for Terminal Services and “stability and security” ..probably – but from a XenApp perspective you’ll lose AIE, ActiveSync, drive remapping and Novell Integration which aren’t supported in 5.0 on 2k8- but you’ll gain Special Folder redirection, XPS Universal Printer and Preferential Load Balancing which aren’t available in w2k3...

So is there a benefit to going to Windows 2008 Server for the XenApp servers.
And if so can that be an inplace upgrade?
Sorry never done an OS upgrade on a Citrix server before, only the Citrix itself.
Thanks all for your info.

To upgrade PS 4.5 to XenApp 5 is pretty simple. Just following this simple step:
1) Wait for it…Wait for it… Wait for it… Congratulations! Your now running XenApp 5!
2) Update WI, ICA Client, Isolation Client as needed
Citrix is getting to be lazy as they hardly put any effort into effort into XenApp 5 for Windows 2003. The only thing that is new is an updated version of Isolation. You could say WI is updated but a .0.1 release as WI 5 was already released with XenDesktop. They also didn't bother to repackage and rebrand the install. So really, XA 5 should have been a 4.6 released.

Subject: [THIN] Citrix upgrade from 4.5 to XenApp
Hi,
We currently have a Citrix PS 4.5 and as part of our Citrix advantage subscriptions want to upgrade to XenApp,.
Is there any gotchas that anyone is aware of for this upgrade.
I understand it can be done as put disk into $.5 Server and run Setup.
TIA for your help
Graeme
