    • It's My Lab In a Box

      Posted on July 8, 2010

      With apologies to Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake Last year I decided to set up a virtual lab machine at home.  My goals were to run XenServer with multiple 64-bit VM’s to simulate a XenApp farm running in a domain in a small portable desktop case.  Taking my $500.00 budget... [Read More]

Application... [Read More]

      AppSense, allows for very granular control of the user environment.  In most cases (if not all), it can completely replace login scripts and Active Directory Group Policies.  In this post I will highlight how to have multiple conditions in a node. Example: Drive Mappings You can map network shares manually,... [Read More]

      AppSense

      Posted on May 19, 2010

      AppSense

      Posted on May 14, 2010

      We are in the midst of implementing AppSense to manage our Citrix users and eventually all users in the enterprise.  It has been hard to find information in the blogosphere which I find surprising.  AppSense is not a brand new product and its recent recognition by Citrix at this year’s...
