Proof of concept setup

Dearl all,

I will be installing a view 5 as a proof of concept for my client, because of many reasons I will be doing it in a developement environment, beside sharing some of the services (DNS, DHCP, AD) is there any watch out things you can through to minimize risks? I have done a fair bit of reading and listening and there is a lot of documentation.

Regards,

The View 5 evaluation guide is also a good pdf to read over, http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/view/VMware-View-Evaluators-Guide.pdf

Give you virtual machines/linked clones an appropriate naming convension.

Also create a seperate OU in AD for your virtual machines and apply the View GPO's to tweek the performance.

Thank you for your reply, I have read most of the documentations, and yes the view 5 documentation is a good start, the issue with View is scalability, when designing View for 100 seats is completely different doing it for 1000 seats, what I mean is that the whole design process is re-invented, not so much of the implementation.

Another issue, I will be using Persona service, my question is: Can a user use both (windows file redirection-Roaming profile) and Persona? this is for testing purposes.

Thank you again.
