I don't beleive they are, but I'll edit them out of my previous post. The Flash msi links are found within the forums, fyi.

I'm having issue with the silent switch on your uninstaller. It crashes each time I run it with that switch. Even /? crashes it. Perhaps the link I found to the uninstaller isn't the one you are using. Edit: Figured it out. The correct switch is -uninstall. /s or /silent is for older uninstallers.

I've been manually installing the msi's without issue but tried using GPO recently and borked a small set of PCs. How are you getting your EXEs for IE? Thanks for the install script above. Edit: found them

When I see this error it usually means I've forgotten to assign the user any applications.

I use a Citrix Services Site for internal usage with PNAgent (the full Citrix online plugin). I've got apps published in XA and have them placed in a folder on the start menu called MyApps. From here users can create shortcuts on their desktops to access the apps. This setup seemed to be a touch more seamless that having users log into WI and launch apps. We've got some thin clients in play as well. They are to slowly replace retiring thick clients. Having both thick and thin client in use might cause some confusion among staff as they have slight differences in what the user is able to do, but, overall it works well. For remote access I've got a regular WI site created.

I believe you do need a license server, but a VM is supposed to be available soon.

All of my current infrastructure is Win2k3, so it likely would affect me. I've got a XenApp RFP out right now for a 3 host (12 guest) roll out in the fall. The Citrix partner I worked with to build the RFP suggested Win2k3 and XenApp 5.x for stability reasons. I may have to urge for Win2k8R2 and XA6.0.

This thread over at the Citrix forums gives me pause. I think I'll wait a touch longer before jumping up.

thank you.

Thanks. I went with those settings with the Everyone permission from within the 7110 and used Windows to create the correct permissions on a subfolder of the sun share. General process I used: -create share from within s7000 -assign Everyone full control to the share from the root ACL and share ACL -create my user folder and untick the inherit from parent button -give full control to domain admin and SYSTEM -give special rights to CREATOR OWNER (sub-folders and files only) for full control -give special rights to authenticated users (this folder only) for traverse/ execute folder SYSTEM and CREATOR OWNER were needed so that ADUC could create and assign the user home folder. Auth users was needed so that the user could access the user drive folder. As a hospital we don't have the huge user turnovers that a school would so setting up users through ADUC works for us. That was a heck of a lot easier than trying to do it through the s7000. Anyone have a copy or link to the Sun integration with Windows whitepaper? I'd love to give that a read. Dave

Very interesting read Andy. I currently have a 7110 which hosts a mix of Windows and Ubuntu VMs (XenServer). I've got things like WSUS, SAV, Fog, and Sharepoint running on this gear and it generally runs just like on bare metal. My Exchange 2007 box though is laggy when accessing it and I do see the odd disconect when using Outlook. I'm using a NFS share to host all the VMs, with the default share settings. I also am using an iSCSI LUN on my SQL box to back up the DBs to it. Again, with the default settings. I have a dedicated Procurve assigned to SAN duties, and use LACP to create a 3 NIC datalink to the switch. Unfortunatly XenServer does not use Jumbo frames, so I cannot enable that feature. We are moving into a new building in the fall and I've asked for, and been given the go ahead, on getting a 7310 w/ a 4400 with 11 x 1TB disks and 1 x 18GB logzilla. The existing VMs will migrate over to this box (the 7110 will be repurposed to user drives and backup). In addition I will be building a XenApp farm, which will utilize the 7310. Any future servers will be built on to this gear. I beleive I have enough space for the near term and enough expandability for the long term. I have to upgrade my SQL server this summer and was going to put it on hardware as the sluggishness of Exchange scared me away from using the 7110. Would the 7310 w/ Logzilla be enough to virtualize it, given all that I hve going onto it? Should I be looking at a Readzillla as well? Or multiples of both? My budget it set but I may be able to get some things changed up, or purchase through my operating budget. I mention above that I use default settings for all my shares/LUNs. This is because I've never seen a whitepaper, forum post, or blog on what tweaks would be best to use depending on the usage. Your post shines some light on it for me, but, is anyone aware of up to date data on the subject?

Are the default share settings ok to go with as well? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/469410/sharesettings.JPG

Thanks guys. I'll give that method a shot. I am running the latest build so there should be few issues...I hope.

teeyay, I've been trying to follow along here and I am having some success but I'm getting tripped up on the correct permissions on the share so that the ADUC snap-in can set the home folder. I can do it manually, just not through ADUC.

I figured I'd loose everything if I wiped and recreated the RAID level. Better to ask a stupid question than to do something stupid. I have heard many a story of Americans slapping a Canadian flag on their backpacks as they travel Europe, and yes I am a born and bread Canuck. Oh and we really don't say aboot, but I can admit to letting out an eh or two.
