We are starting to use the Citrix Profile Management utility along with Roaming Profiles in our XenDesktop pilot. I anticipate usage of our XenApp WebAcces to decline as we move to XenDesktop. Also no Terminal Server licenses required with XenDesktop. In any case if you have XenApp Enterprise or better the Profile utility is included, look under your MyCitrix downloads. So far logon/logoff times are faster when using the Citrix tool.
>>> Sean Martin <[email protected]> 7/19/2010 3:48 PM >>> For James Rankin James, You mentioned switching from AppSense to CPM. Can you elaborate on why you made the switch? We're currently looking at both CPM and AppSense and based solely on Citrix Consulting's feedback, we are leaning towards AppSense because they indicated it may be easier to manage in our environment. We have yet to evaluate the product for ourselves. We have a fairly large Citrix environment (140 servers split between 8 application silos) and have been dealing with a wide variety of profile issues for awhile. Any feedback you can provide would be appreciated. - Sean ======================================= I've been through the hell of Windows roaming profiles. We used AppSense with mandatory profiles which was vastly better, we have now moved on to using Citrix Profile Management (which integrates nicely as it uses GPOs to deploy) and it is much better than Windows profile handling. In fact, I'd go so far as to say MS could learn a lot about profile handling by looking at CPM. We haven't had more than two corrupted profiles since we went live three months ago. In the windws-onlydays, we'd get that many per day. - Show quoted text - Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
