Migrating your terminal server platform without users noticing it

Published by Holger Adam on 09/07/2010 | 0 Comments | 100 Views

I was recently supporting a customer who had a migration project planned. The customers were using Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 on Windows Server 2003 x86 and the task was to replace this with XenApp 6 on Windows Server 2008 R2. What made this interesting besides the change of profile versions and the system architecture was the fact that the users should not notice any downtime or lose any of their settings. Especially the Outlook settings and accounts and the Internet Explorer passwords were mission critical.

How the App Paths Registry Key Makes Windows Both Faster and Safer

Published by Helge Klein on 08/26/2010 | 3 Comments | 405 Views

Why can you start Mozilla Firefox by typing "firefox" in the Run dialog and press enter? Firefox.exe is not located in any directory in the path. The same with Outlook (type "outlook"), PowerShell ("powershell"), VMware Workstation ("vmware") or Adobe Reader ("acrord32"). This "magic application starting thingy" works because of a little-known Windows feature based on the "App Paths" registry key.

Pains with EFS and Network Destinations

Published by Nicholas Dille on 08/04/2010 | 0 Comments | 327 Views

A few months ago, I have blogged about an annoying anomaly in the handling of EFS-encrypted files. My case was that copying fails for an EFS-encrypted file to a location where it cannot be encrypted by the source system (e.g. a file share). My colleague Helge Klein has apparently uncovered the cause: CopyFile(Ex).

Free Script: User Profile Domain Migration with SetACL

Published by Helge Klein on 08/04/2010 | 0 Comments | 796 Views

When administrators migrate user accounts between domains, they typically re-ACL those server ressources users have access to. In plain English: they copy or move the permissions from the accounts of the old domain to the corresponding accounts of the new domain. There are various ways to do that. In this article, I present a simple way to re-ACL roaming user profiles.

Verzögerte Ansicht von dynamischen Collection in SCCM 2007 SP2

Published by Thorsten Christoffers on 07/27/2010 | 0 Comments | 357 Views

Ok ich weiß, diese Überschrift sollte für einen SCCM
Administrator bei SCCM 2007 zum Tagesgeschäft gehören und sollte auch nichts
Besonders sein. Der SCCM 2007 verhält sich bei der GUI doch ziemlich zäh und
man braucht teilweise sehr viel Geduld im Tagesgeschäft. Nun gibt es aber noch
zusätzlich das Problem, dass eine Abfrage einer dynamischen Collection noch
länger dauern kann.
