Citrix recommends that you install StoreFront on a new installation of the operating system. All the servers in a multiple server deployment must run the same operating system version with the same locale settings. StoreFront server groups containing mixtures of operating system versions and locales are not supported. While a server group can contain a maximum of six servers, from a capacity perspective based on simulations, there is no advantage of server groups containing more than three servers.

TCP port 808 is used for communications between StoreFront servers and must be accessible from inside the corporate network. A TCP port randomly selected from all unreserved ports is used for communications between the StoreFront servers in a server group. When you install StoreFront, a Windows Firewall rule is configured enabling access to the StoreFront executable.
However, since the port is assigned randomly, you must ensure that any firewalls or other devices on your internal network do not block traffic to any of the unassigned TCP ports. TCP port 8008 is used by Citrix Workspace app for HTML5 or supported Citrix Receiver versions, where enabled, for communications from local users on the internal network to the servers providing their desktops and applications.

Since Mac OS users can update there OS version to 10.12 (sierra), there are problems with the Citrix Receiver. When you connect with your storefront, you can login, but when you choose a desktop or app the Citrix Receiver stops with the following error: Initialization Failed, Contact your help desk for assistance. The problem with this is that Apple changed some code for API calls, and with that change the Citrix Receiver gets wrong parameters back and ends with this error. To work around this problem, you can use the Citrix Receiver as Extension in the Google Chrome browser.
Start the Google Chrome Browser, add the extension, start the extension and enter the address to your storefront.

UPDATE: On september 20, Citrix released a new version with Mac OS Sierra support of there Citrix Receiver for Mac 12.3. You can download the version.
