Hey Thinstallers. Please let me know what kind of topics you would like to discuss in our weekly sessions. As always, I try to reserve the balance of time fro general Q&A, but always want to hear your thoughts on the information that would help the most during these sessions. Please post your thoughts here!

Here are some suggestions, which I believe many general users might find helpful:

scripting
callback functions
API functions
package.ini entries and their use
virtualizing locally installed applications
troubleshooting practices

I liked the list of suggestions. I would like to see more on troubleshooting problem apps. Specifically how to use Log_Monitor and any other tools that work within the VOS.

A detailed discussion on how to use Log_Monitor which includes a glossary of terms used in the trace reports & how to identify nuisance errors which can be ignored.

ThinAPP best practicies in an enterprise environment

Performance impact on Terminal servers due to running virtual apps. I know that from a conceptual standpoint you shouldn't notice any significant difference. But what I am interested to know is that built-in memory management features are we sacrificing by running apps in a virtual environment.
