XenDesktop and ESXi free edition

[Chinabee]

Does anybody know if the whole XenDesktop

(servers and VDIs) can be installed on VMware ESXi 5 (free edition)?

To get provisioning with MSC you need vCenter server, not sure about PVS.

Would you explain this a little?

There is a few different provisioning methods in XD, one is Machine Creation Services and the other is Provisioning Server.

Which one do you intend to use?

fbifido, this thread is very old and your question is not the same as the original poster.

If you think its VMware related please feel free to start a new thread and please post more details about the issue.
