  6. Confused with XenDesktop 5 and What You Knew with XenDesktop 4?

Unfortunately, portions of Citrix' XenDesktop documentation is less ...

  10. .Net 3.5 SP1 and Delivery Center servers

    So I finished a round of reboots from having my demo/lab systems up for around 3 weeks. Of course, like any competent admin, I upgraded to the latest MS patches, butt (pun intended) like an incompetant admin, I didn't test (but I don't have a test lab at this point....hmmm, sounds like an excellent use case for XenServer Platinum!). During the update, I also allowed ...
