We are rolling out VDI right now (not involved personally) and from the numbers I've seen, it IS vastly expensive.
Story goes that we were a big Citrix shop years back and that has faded away, only remnants remain. Don Guyer Systems Engineer - Information Services Prudential, Fox & Roach/Trident Group 431 W.

Please check your network connection" Agree, we deliver published desktops almost exclusively. AppSense helps greatly with the management of it. Delivering the same solution with VDI (of any flavour) would be vastly more expensive.

Citrix used to not recommend a published desktop but now is fine with it as long as the server is properly locked down with GPO. A server's desktop is far easier to deliver than VDI (IMNSHO) and will server 90%+ of your users and applications [1]. Carl Webster Citrix Technology Professional http://dabcc.com/Webster 1. Yes, I think VDI is greatly overhyped and under delivered (kind of like Shooky's love life). From: Miller, Michael [mailto:michael.mil...@dys.ohio.gov] Subject: "Citrix XenApp could not contact the server. Please check your network connection" Morning, To start off, my Citrix knowledge is OK. There are many.. many things I am still learning. So I apologize if I am a little lacking. I have had this error before and I have had it prompt for username and password before once the desktop loads. But for the life of me I cannot find where I messed up to cause this error. I'm sure it's something that I missed. We have a setup that isn't from what I understand to be recommended. We published our server desktop.. We have installed 2 additional servers into an already working farm. It is only the 2 servers that we recently installed that are experiencing this. I get the error (cannot contact server), and the login prompt when clicking an application on server 6. I get the Login prompt ONLY when I login to 7. -Xenapp 5.0 on server 2008 x64 - SQL 2005 -Kerberos is not enabled. -Passthrough on services site -Explicit on Web -XML is not 80 -WI (5.3) is now on a separate server. -I am using a FQDN on the xenapp plugin Let me know if you need anymore information. For some reason I recall a hotfix.
