Pubforum an overview - part 2

So.. day two.. Wilco Van bragt kicked off with a presentation on "Freeware tools", as always Wilco showed a deep technical knowledge, and alot of great tools. Wilco has been testing alot of freely available tools, and i was considering blogging the tools now, but i saw that Wilco actually did alot of articles in the area as well, so have a look here: http://sbc.vanbragt.net/mambo/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=5&id=27&Itemid=49

Wilco is also blogging from Pubforum, his blog can be found at: http://sbc.vanbragt.net/mambo/

I had the pleasure of stepping out in the Sun for some early lunch with Jacob Berg, so missed a few sessions, but they will be available on the pubforum site http://www.pubforum.info/welcome. Pretty sure Wilco also did an outline on his blog which i mentioned earlier.

Alex Danilichev did a presentation on VDM, i also did a blog post on it, you can view it here: Citrix XenApp, TS, VDI high res and large screens, a pain- Virtual Display Man

Citrix EMEA did a run through of the differences between "XenDesktop 2.0 and the new 2.1" and it seems to be a few new features and alot of fixes and improvements. Definately a recommendation also from Karen in tech support, upgrading is recommended. Great run through.

Max Ranzau a danish long time Powerfuse dedicated guy, now working with RES. Max did a presentation of the products Powerfuse and Wisdom, with the main focus on RES Wisdom. The outline for the products in a simple way is that the Wisdom product manages the Machine, Powerfuse supplies the User with ressources.

After Max, Karen from Citrix Support Escalation team in Dublin went on and did a technical run through of the architecture of XenDesktop, i think it gave good insights into troubleshooting a XenDesktop environment.

After that, Thomas Did deep technical dive into the troubleshooting of XenApp, doing a demonstration of a troubleshooting scenario with a Citrix IMA service that would not start. Thomas took it through CDFtracing and showed how everyone can do cdf tracing using traceview and the TMF files from Citrix. To obtain the TMF files and a link to traceview have a look at http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX106233.

On that not it was time to participate in Sascha’s demonstration of "How to make White Russians in france.. and Why.." .. let me just tell you, it tasted great!
