Citrix Profile Management and VDI – Doing it Right Part 1 & 2

Back in February, Citrix blogger Dan Allen posted an informational blog called "Citrix Profile Management and VDI- Doing it Right".  In my opinion, this was probably one of the best (if not THE best) collection of information regarding user profile management. Earlier this week Dan followed up with a part 2 blog, which went even deeper into profile management and provided a detailed, real world use case scenario. I highly encourage you to take them time to read both posts. As I have stated before, I think user profile management is the most under rated and under planned part of a VDI deployment. There are sooooo many options and ways to slice the user profile pie. Most of the big name vendors, (i.e. Citrix, VMWare, and Microsoft) offer built in solutions, and there are a slew of 3rd party vendors that specifically address user profile management. Dan's blogs have been blasted across the social media networks this week, but I thought I would provide the link to both posts for your viewing pleasure. For anyone out there dealing with virtual app or virtual desktop deployments, these blogs are worth a read. Enjoy.

Migrating UPM Profiles – Tips and tricks

Greetings. I wanted to re-post this blog because profile management in the VDI world, can be a royal pain. I think profile management is hands down, the most over looked, under planned aspect of a VDI roll out and it can cause some serious pains for the VDI admins. Bill Powell wrote a killer blog detailing ways to migrate UPM profiles. This is definitely a must read for anyone who's had to deal with UPM. Enjoy.
