What I am trying to do is pretty much what is described in this article but in ESX:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/storageserver/archive/2011/05/04/diskless-servers-can-boot-and-run-from-t...
To be a bit more specific to my exact environment: My users are on Terminal Servers (not citrix) which are currently all configured as separate VM's - this however is using up a lot of unncessary disk space. I want to be able to setup one "golden" image, have the VM's target that image for their main files but have their own differential files.
Hardware: Dell R805 Servers, Dell Equallogic SAN, ESX 4 Advanced (we are testing ESX 5 now but do not have a timeframe for going live).
I am assuming I'm not the first to want to do this, but I appear to be having issues finding documentation on it - to which I assuming I am searching for the wrong terms but I can't seem to find the right ones.
Thank you for your assistance.
