Slight hijack - any idea what the official release date might be for 6.5? I have been having a few issues with the stability of our Xen 6 farm and am wondering if 6.5 might give me an opportunity to rebuild the whole thing to a more robust level.

XenApp 5 for Server 2003 32-bit is the most rock-stable product in the Citrix product line-up. It will be in use long after both Citrix and Microsoft drop support. XenApp 5 for Server 2008, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, is the ugly red-headed step child (my apologies to all you good looking red-headed step-people on the list) of the XenApp product family. It should be taken out behind the woodshed and put out of its pathetic misery. XenApp 6 is stable depending on your Microsoft and Citrix public and private hotfixes installed and whether you have 2008 R2 SP1 installed. Since XenApp 6.5 is now in Tech Preview, I can talk about it. It is very stable and requires 2008 R2 SP1. There are some very major changes coming to the XenApp product line. You should download and play with this and read the documentation. (You must now put on your read-between-the-lines reading glasses) It would be nice if Citrix made it easier to clone/image XenApp servers. Especially automating the process of joining a XenApp farm. It would be nice if Citrix did away completely with the long-in-the-tooth IMA architecture. It would be nice if Citrix made the XenApp product architecture more like XenDesktop 5 SP1. It would be nice if Citrix finally released their very long in development Universal Print Server. It would be nice if Citrix finally released their awesome multi-threaded client software. It would be nice for the Linux folk if Citrix leveled the playing field for the Windows and Linux clients. It would be nice if Citrix allowed you to display a Mac OS X desktop on any device. Do not ask any questions about the above list. Those are just the wishes of me personally. J That is enough teasing for now. You may now put back on your regular glasses.

Would it be possible to try this on Windows 2008 R2? My XenApp 2008 R2 servers rarely have problems, but 2003 (still have a few for enterprise apps) is more troublesome. Also if you have SA for your MS Office, try 2010 - it works great on XenApp. ~ 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
