Today I was at a customer with thin clients with Windows 7 embedded installed, these thin clients had to be configured to connect to a Citrix XenApp 5 farm. The problem was that we wanted to have SSO (single sign out ;-)). So of course we asked RES if we could use the Subscriber/VDX but they came with the following statement:

RES Workspace manager: Additional mailboxes
One of the sys admins at a customer attended me to the following problem and solution (Thanks Niek!)
RES Workspace Manager can be used to provide data to configure Outlook, when this is done the user normally gets his own mailbox and have to connect other mailboxes manually. But the User Settings – Outlook template doesn’t support this in the zero-profiling. To solve this problem the ‘HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem” should be added to the zero-profiling.

RES Automation Manager, server installations and automated diskpart
When I install servers I like to have a second drive to put data on. In this case we created servers based on ESXi so I created a single disk for the operating system (Windows 2008 R2) and a separate second disk for the data. When deploying via WDS/MDT the OS is installed on the first disk but the second disk had to be formatted and I had to assign a drive letter manual.

RES Workspace Manager and language packs
A lot of our customers ask for multi language support in their SBC setup, Microsoft provides MUI’s for specific languages which can be installed on the base OS. When using default settings you’ll have to log out and then log in to have the changed language settings. But if you use RES PowerFuse 2010/RES Workspace Manager 2011 you can create this functionality without the need of logging off.
RES PowerFuse 2010 and Aero look
One of my customers discovered that it is possible to use the RES PowerFuse 2010 shell and have the Aero look in Windows. He called RES Support to ask if this was correct and how he could configure this because it adds some extra eye-candy to the user interface. RES could reproduce the setting by logging on with the Windows shell the first time and turn on Aero in the Windows shell, when the user logs off and logs back in with the PowerFuse shell the applications have transparent edges and the Windows key-Tab functionality works.
RES Workspace Manager 2011 released
From the partner mail I just received:
A new version of Workspace Manager is available today! This new version now offers capabilities to set dynamic privileges, website security, integration with Service Orchestration and much more. This builds on the proven and trusted advantages of a centrally managed and dynamic computing environment, zero profile technology and being OS and application delivery independent.
