Bill, why not deliver the image via CITRIX PVS each night and in the AM before people login have the AV perform its updates. Once a month month do MSFT Updates and apply the AV changes to the master image.

The utilities here are designed to promote moving the user towards smooth roaming experience. Where their actual desktop is VDI. Their login prompt is the CITRIX Web Interface.

Thanks. Yes, it’s not like they are going out purchasing another license, the main concern is the exposure footprint for viral outbreaks, and management headache (patches, maintenance). I just want to make sure I’m not missing anything obvious. Large investments in VDI go towards the back end, with essentially, a lot of the same problems remaining at the desktops, with only a new layer being added atop the existing one.

Hi Bill, Most people have already payed for a Windows XP license. The problems with Linux have been multimedia/flash/usb support. This has now change, check out this Citrix blog : Receiver for Linux now optimized for HDX

Thanks for the post. This is great, but I find it strange the lack of people talking about the fact you are still using an XP license, with all it’s cost/maintenance just to get to another – desktop license.

Is there an option that eliminates this layer completely, for repurposed PCs? eg.

a la a Wyse ThinOS style layer?

Windows PE is not free, it’s just an stripped down version of Windows XP. Check here for info : http://windowsconnected.com/blogs/joshs_blog/archive/2007/02/05/creating-a-bootable-winpe-2-0-usb-key.aspx
