Good stuffactually I was looking for the Citrix session ID, not the real session ID, which is where I was going wrong in my head :-) I realized I could just strip it from the end of the %sessionname% variable after the # - loads simpler! I will steal your snippet for when I actually need the

I'd go with SD. VMware doesn't need swap for itself, so won't page to the SD - that means that pretty much the only time the SD get written is when you upgrade/patch VMware itself, so reliability isn't much of an issue. It'll make your hosts a bit cheaper, too, since there's no need for a RAID

We have 14 field offices where we have servers. During our recent, and ongoing, migration from Novell/Groupwise, to AD/Exchange, we put VM hosts at those sites. We have them booting off SD cards, with hot spares in the case, and using the internal drives as the storage. Works great, no

Would the SD cards be mainly Read or Read/Write? I think the difference would be important as to reliability/long term usability. To be honest I am just now starting to use SD cards more and for me they are mainly a Read with occasional Writes so I would think unlike spinning drives they will
