Question about AD

Sparky992011101 — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 18:49:09 GMT

Excuse me, but I need some help in answering a simple question. I get the fact that a machine can be provisioned and then removed from a pool. However if you are doing this for 100 desktops for each day, how do you remove the VM's from the day before? Is that done automatically?

Welcome to the community.

If you do with View Admin console, yes.

If you create a Pool with 100 desktops, you need to delete this pool manually to remove those 100 desktops. May I know what exactly is your requirement?

I guess the real question is; how do we keep a clean AD if VM's are getting provisioned everytime someone logs in and out?

View will handle deletion and re-creation of its computer objects in AD. You should not have to worry about stale, old objects in AD as it is all tracked and managed behind the scenes.

VMs are not necessarily re-provisioned everytime someone logs in and out; that depends on the pool type and/or settings of the pool, but regardess its handled by View.
