    <description><![CDATA[There are different ways to deploy outlook app, like deploying the app via citrix xenapp, or installing outlook in user&rsquo;s VDI.
Whatever deployment method we choose, we still have some questions related to outlook. Should I enable cache mode or leave in online mode? Should I save my data on user&rsquo;s VDI locally or redirect to different share etc.. lets discuss these options.
Lets understand the differences between online mode vs cached exchange mode]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[In XenDesktop version 5.0, MCS used only one way to create VDIs i.e., using fast clone way. This will have one base disk(master image disk) and all the machines created from this disk will have a delta disk which contains changes like user installed apps, data etc as shown in below image:
This method has its own pros and cons as given below.

    <description><![CDATA[An effective design of user profiles can make a significant difference in the performance and manageability of a XenApp environment. Many of the issues commonly seen in large or complex XenApp environments (including slow logon, loss of user settings, profile corruption, and excessive administrative effort) are often the result of sub-optimal user profile designs. A solid design and implementation of user profiles can maintain the integrity of user settings, eliminate issues requiring administrator intervention, and ensure high-performance user logon.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[XenDesktop 7 is the latest product release from Citrix for delivering virtual desktops and applications allowing users to work from anywhere on any device. XenDesktop 7 is supported on all the major hypervisors; however I will present the case for selecting Hyper-V 2012. Please note, that this will not be a Hyper-V versus VMware or XenServer hypervisor comparison. Each hypervisor offers unique features that organizations will have to decide which is most important to them.]]></description>

    <title>Best Practice – Assigning Apps to Users</title>
    <link>https://posts.chaibuilds.com/posts/best-practice-assigning-apps-to-users/</link>

    <description><![CDATA[Assigning published applications to users may be a very simple task, but if not managed well, it can end up creating more problems. I have seen customers assigning individual user accounts to the published apps in the Citrix admin console and this can get very problematic as there are danger of assignment inconsistency. Usually, we use Active Directory groups to manage the assignments. In Microsoft world, there are 3 types of AD groups – domain local, global and universal group.]]></description>

    <title>“New” Citrix Best Practices</title>
    <link>https://posts.chaibuilds.com/posts/new-citrix-best-practices/</link>

    <description><![CDATA[Overview
There are best practices and then there’s reality…I have been saying that for years. Because I believe too many folks think some best practices are set in stone or should be implemented or followed no matter what the situation. To be honest, this could not be farther from the truth. It’s why many Professional Services organizations (CCS included) use the phrase “it depends”. There is also a reason why our Legal team at Citrix cringes when we use the phrase “best practice”…because for a certain situation at a certain customer with a certain set of business requirements, that practice we recommended might not actually turn out to be “best” or truly optimal, and it could result in say downtime, disaster, upset customers, lost revenue, etc.]]></description>
