I have been recommending in all deployments ever since I started with WEM, to implement the very simple "WEM Agent Refresh" Start-Up Script. Every deployment I have seen, touched or been involved that uses this basic concept of "refresh my cache at start-up" has no issues relating to cache, delayed start-up or inconsistent behaviours.

A consistent challenge when beginning the adoption of WEM services into an existing environment, is the analysis and migration of existing GPP and GPO settings into the WEM way of processing.

Sometimes its nice to be selective - I want things to turn up in certain places for certain users at certain times based on certain conditions - that's why WEM and I get along so well. I have put together a quick module for the hydration kit which allows you to get a little funky... Continue Reading →
I recently engaged with a customer who had chosen to deploy Citrix 7.15 LTSR across multiple sites utilising Windows Server 2016 published desktops as their primary delivery platform. The user base had been a long term consumer of Windows Server 2008 R2 based published desktops, and the IT teams had utilised the typical management technique... Continue Reading →
One of my favorite parts of WEM is the ability to dynamically build out an environment for a user based on any number of possible values, settings, or variables. I've noticed a bit of a trend on the discussions forums as more and more people take on the WEM Solution, around a need for more... Continue Reading →
The Windows 10 Modern Start Menu has introduced a range of challenges and frustrations for end users and admins alike, particularly within environments that operated for long periods with a typical Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 redirected Start Menu, a technique which no longer lends itself well to the new modern Start Menu....
