For a while now my friend Brandon Mitchell and I have been throwing ideas back and forward around how we see things unfold with profile management across multiple resource locations, both from a Citrix UPM and FSLogix perspective.

Back again banting on about the Windows Start Menu (surprised?). I am hoping this is one of those James Rankin “final say” style blog posts where I can put this bad boy to bed because I am pretty sure I have my silver bullet to providing a nice start menu environment consistently and efficiently.

Fast forward to the 1906 release of WEM, and that same service exists and now clearly displays a significant delay when... Continue Reading →
I originally posted this article under the CUGC community site here. For customers on the Current Release path for Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, one of the best features available to you is the ever-growing list of cool stuff that Director Introduces. A few features that I find have not gained enough love given how... Continue Reading →
