Cool,
Going away from Citrix Altogether, going to VDI and ESX ourselves, and looking at SoftGrid for APPV, as another way to slim down what people work with.

Possible Solution I have to say, Windows 2008 Group Policies are the mutt's nuts....I think we might be able to get rid of AppSense once we get all this stuff in. Save ourselves about £25,000 a year. Lose a little bit of the granular control of the Citrix desktops, but seeing as though we are implementing virtual XP desktops through ESX, not that much of a problem 2009/6/17 Ziots, Edward <[email protected]> Its patching weeks, and all of it has to be off hours. Must be nice to migrate your stuff to Win 2008 I don't have a Win2k8 Member server in my Domain yet... but soon prolly.

Possible Solution You guys must start work awfully early! Although I have been here since 7 migrating all my logon scripts into a 2008 GPO structure, which is about as exciting as watching paint dry :-( 2009/6/17 Ziots, Edward <[email protected]> Thanks, Top of the morning to ya from across the pond...

Possible Solution I can testify I am seeing no issues on my Citrix servers this morning...a little spike to start with then everything as normal. However I am on version 9 in production 2009/6/17 Ziots, Edward <[email protected]> When I checked it this morning, the % utilization was less than 5%. Also Shockware popped up that an update was available, I downloaded, but it still read the same version, 10.0.22.87. Anyone seeing the same ?

Possible Solution Ok. I just upgraded to Flash 10,0,22,87 in IE8 (ActiveX) in Windows XP Pro.

Find the file (it's prolly in WINDOWS\System32\) and bring up Properties from Windows Explorer. The "Version" tab. You can check the version of Flash in general by going to the following URL and looking in the "Version Information" box in the upper right of the page main body. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 8.5.374 / Virus Database: 270.12.73/2180 - Release Date: 06/16/09 07:41:00 ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
