Jo Harder, a Senior Architect at Citrix Systems has been posting some very useful blogs regarding User Profile Management. Jo has 10 years experience working at Citrix Systems, and has a real wealth of knowledge based on deep technical understanding of Citrix and related technologies, and also real world customer environments. With that said, in addition to the blogs, Jo is also hosting a Tech Talk Webinar on “Solving User Profile Challenges for XenApp and/or XenDesktop”. I strongly recommend that anyone who is either experiencing problems with user profiles, or is considering using both XenDesktop and XenApp together, attends this webinar as I am sure you’ll find it more than worthwhile. :)
It is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, April 6th 2010 at 2:00PM – 3:00PM EDT
Below is the Tech Talk synopsis, along with the link to register for it of course :)
“User profiles are a little understood but highly critical aspect of any Citrix implementation. User profiles impact the user experience, logon time, access to user data, storage requirements, and more. Your user requirements, infrastructure, and Citrix technologies have a bearing upon your optimal user profile solution, which in turn impacts the success of your XenApp and/or XenDesktop implementation. Especially when you are making changes to your Citrix deployment, including adding XenDesktop, revisiting your user profile solution make sense.
In this session, you will learn about:
• Technical basics regarding how Microsoft, Citrix, and AppSense profiles function
• Criteria that should play a part in your profile decision as related to XenApp and/or XenDesktop
• Implementation considerations, such as folder redirection and transitioning existing profiles
• Sample scenarios”
