The Danger of Machine Account Password Changes
Published by Nicholas Dille on 06/01/2010 | 2 Comments | 4,834 Views

Every so often I am asked to help analyze weird issues when assigning group memberships or permissions - accounts are not found and the Event Log shows unsettling messages. Many of these situations can be traced back to the operating system using a different machine account password than the domain is aware of.

Using EdgeSight in a Provisioning Server Shared Image – Properly!
Published by Nicholas Dille on 06/29/2009 | 6 Comments | 4,921 Views

As EdgeSight is a component that is offered by Citrix in several Platinum Editions for strategic products as well as a substitute for Resource Manager in XenApp, customers like to profit from the value-add compared to traditional system management products. EdgeSight is often used to augment the data collected by those tools. But when using EdgeSight with Provisioning Server, things get a little more complex because an agent is assigned a unique ID to match data uploads to the correct database entries. By using shared disks with Provisioning Server, such a unique ID must not be included in the golden image to avoid performance data to be assigned incorrectly - meaning that several agents may be reporting to the same device in EdgeSight. In this article, I'd like to demonstrate how the method offered by Citrix can be enhanced to use EdgeSight and make the management of shared disks with Provisioning Server feasible.
