Shannon Ma is bezig met het ontwikkelen van een nieuwe tool voor het ‘preppen’ van XenApp Servers. Het werkt hetzelfde als Sysprep voor Windows alleen dan voor al je XenApp onderdelen. Huray voor de luiaarden onder ons! 
Ik en anderen met mij hebben dit natuurlijk al eens gedaan in de vorm van een Kix script, op de een of andere manier blijf ik het toch vrijwel altijd met de hand doen.

Expanded my 4GB CL4 Corsair RAM to 8 Gigs. For testing purposes ofcourse! I do a lot of testing of Microsoft and Citrix products within VMWare Workstation so this really was needed! No Really! 
I use Corsair DDR2 XMS2 4 x 2 GB CL4 (TWIN2X4096-6400C4DHX) modules with DHX technology.

Fairly easy exam. Having some knowledge of MOM/SCOM has some advantage because it works on top of this product. Know how Microsoft Forefront installs/acts on Microsoft Sharepoint, Microsoft Exchange and how it interoperates with Microsoft WSUS Server.

You can now also register for Technical Workshops on the Citrix Synergy Website, too bad there will be no Microsoft PowerShell Scripting within the Citrix MFCOM service, only VBScript en WSH.
I will be very interested in attending TW2 (Configuring Delivery Features within Citrix XenApp Platinum Application Streaming), TW8 (Integrating Citrix XenApp with Citrix Access Gateway, Enterprise Edition) and TW9 (Technical Best Practices for Integrating Citrix Provisioning Server for Datacenters with Citrix XenApp to Deliver the Dynamic Datacenter). Now I just need approval from my boss!

Microsoft really dropped the ball on this one, with some experience with Microsoft MOM 2005, logic thinking, common sense and a twist of lemon you are able to pass this exam.
Next exam: TS: Microsoft Forefront Client and Server, Configuration, I think this will be a nice add-on to my Microsoft Exchange 2007 and Security specialization.

If you are interested in the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 products, there is an offer on the Microsoft Learning site for free E-books on LINQ, ASP.NET AJAX and SilverLight.
I’m Dutch so we are always in for free stuff, even if we don’t do anything with it, I’m sorry, it’s a cultural thing. I’m sure you’ll understand.

I took these exams on the same day, yes it was a nice certification day, January 10th. Although I can not recommend doing such a thing because it requires to stay focused for a considerably long time, beta exams often consists of a lot of questions. Unfortunately I did not have the the time (luxury) to plan 2 days for these exams, so … All is well, a pass is a pass, as they say.
So that just totally made my day! Don’t you just love Microsoft products?
So by passing these exams I can add two more certifications to my list:
-Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP): Server Administrator
-Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP): Enterprise Administrator
My appreciated colleague Kay Sellenrode also passed both of these exams so we will be well represented by within our company Platani regarding Windows 2008 certifications.
