updating Parent VMs

[VMMikeC]

When I create my parent VMs, I go through all the optimization steps. When you all add windows updates or any changes to your parent VMs...do you run disk cleanup and defrag again and also reinstall the view agent every time?

Thanks,

Mike

I only do a reinstall of the client if I have performed a VMware tools update.    Other than that I do some AV stuff and an ipconfig /release before shutdown.
