We keep getting conflicting information. I feel they do not understand the EA/custom licensing agreement and the fact we are trying BYOD. they cannot seem to understand there is no corporate desktop in the mx so there is no "SA benefit" we can use. The good news is that we do not need to focus on VDI till Dec/Jan right now the focus is CRM but it would be nice to budget for VDI now.

You shouldn't have to worry about that. Seriously. Get your TAM or PAM to quote it to you. Licensing for VDI with SC2012SP1 should be simpler, but I think it's still NDA, so I can't say anything. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Finnesey [mailto:r...@finnesey.com] Sent: Friday, November 9, 2012 5:20 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: VDI in a Box? I am really keen to implement a bring your own device model and offer hosted desktops but I am having a hell of a time working out the licensing requirements. -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

"Within 90 days after GA for Windows Server 2012" was the official word, I believe. But if you want to deploy a live environment on Day 1, you need to be using the software now. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Finnesey [mailto:r...@finnesey.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 6, 2012 8:28 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: VDI in a Box?

You should also take a look at System Center 2012 VMM (with SP1). It's very slick! -----Original Message----- From: Matthew W.

Here's a simple question for you: What the difference between Citrix's "VDI-in-a-Box" vs traditional VDI solutions? Opinions on where it fits in Desktop Virtualization are welcome. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
