The importance of having a consistent configuration across all Citrix servers is paramount. So, if you have SCCM 2007 then the Citrix Presentation Server Configuration Pack For SCCM 2007is definitely worth trying.

The Citrix Presentation Server (CPS) Configuration Pack is a tool which you can use to evaluate each Presentation Server’s configuration against predefined security and best practice guidelines. The Configuration Pack is designed to be used in conjunction with the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007 Desired Configuration Management (DCM) 2.0 module The DCM 2.0 module automates configuration management audits.

The DCM reports contain detailed information about which Presentation Servers are out of compliance and how to correct each configuration setting. Using this information, Citrix administrators can rectify the configuration issues on each reported Presentation Server, thus bringing the entire CPS farm back into compliance with Citrix Best Practices.

The CPS Configuration Pack is a tool which you can use to evaluate each Presentation Server’s configuration against predefined security and best practice guidelines. The security and best practice guidelines are a collection of configuration settings assembled from sources such as the Citrix Presentation Server Administrator’s Guide, Citrix Presentation Server Advanced Concepts Guide, Citrix Best Practices Webinar, and Citrix Access Security of IT Administrators.

Some of the checks that are done a quite obvious (use a CPU of at least 550 Mhz) but there are also checks that are really worth it. Besides, there's always to opportunity to create or add your own set of checks which might be a very good idea to do.
