![]() ![]() Every application has its own settings file which gets loaded when you start the application, instead of everything when logging on. Profiles, you can choose to only save the settings you want or need instead of saving everything to a roaming profile. Workspaces, when you have a test or development environment you can choose which group of servers or users receive certain setting (or none at all!). Reporting/Monitoring, when did user X log on and for how long? Did he encounter any app crashes etc? -AppV integration, RES-WM understands how AppV works which makes it easy to deploy packaged applications (virtual registry etc). These are the points where I think RES WM is a big improvement over the "default" configuration options (GPOs, scripts, etc): -Managability, you can easily add/remove/change applications without requiring "expert" knowledge of the product. ![]() My experiences have been very positive and a huge improvement over the "default" Windows configuration options like GPO's and scripting. I am looking into RES to provide a better user experience by reliably applying application settings, reducing logon times, and not having to manage two sets of user profiles for physical and virtual desktops would be a plus.Īlmost all of our Citrix XenApp customers (between 500-10000 users) use RES Workspace Manager for setting up and configuring their workspaces. I'm more concerned with the application configurations in our GPO's applying reliably so that the users don't experience errors, and speeding up logon is a secondary concern. I know that slow DFS shares that the user profiles are on is contributing to the slow logon as well, but that's beyond my control. GPO's don't always apply when a user logs in for the first time and the profile is created, and a second login is always required, and sometimes (frequently) we have to remote in and run "gpupdate /force" to get settings to apply. I work for a law firm, and we have so many applications and Office addins that require a lot of GPO's to configure settings. ![]() The reason why I'm looking into it: On both our physical desktops as well as our XenApp desktops/applications, login takes an average of 45 seconds to a minute. For those of you who are using RES Workspace Manager in your environment, what's your opinion of it? ![]()
