posted by Barry Flanagan

In the first Deep Dive into XenDesktop post, the embedded presentation covered the architecture of XenDesktop. This next presentation reviews the install of the the Desktop Delivery Controller and the Virtual Desktop Agent, then reviews the Management Console, Desktop Groups, and the Citrix Desktop Toolbar.

This presentation does have several slide notes that provide additional detail. You can view the slide notes here.

Frank Anderson on the XenDesktop team has created a few screencasts covering the features of XenDesktop. You can watch his short screencast covering the provisioning and lifecycle management features of XenDesktop here. Frank's screencast on user experience is available here

Thanks to Richard Nash on the SE team for providing much of the source material for this slide presentation.

    Thanks for another informative presentation.

    However I do have a question, you menion DDC isn't multi-site capable and should be aggregated through WI.  When you say aggregate, do you mean you can present a multi-site XenDesktopPool as one Group?  If so, how can you do this?

    Thanks,

    XenPro

    Logged into Slideshare and tried download. It says go to Citrix. Tried Citrix download, it says Slideshare account invalid. Great way to make something trivial really painful.

    Martin,

    I apologize. My intent in posting this content over a year ago was not to cause pain. There is a download link to a pdf in the post. It appears to work fine for me and the many hundreds of other people who have downloaded this presentation and the others in this series . Here it is again - http://community.citrix.com/download/attachments/47743030/Notes_XenDesktopArchitectureDeepDivePart2.zip?version=1

    The pdf is zipped. Please let me know if it still does not work for you specifically.

    The presentation would not show up at all inside the post if it was not valid on Slideshare. I can still see the presentation at the Slide Share site whether I am logged onto the account or not. I am not sure what your issue is with SlideShare. here is a Slideshare contact page - http://slideshare.zendesk.com/portal

    You can find the slideshare FAQ here - http://slideshare.zendesk.com/forums

    If you still cannot access the content, post your email address and I will be happy to have the pdf emailed to you directly.

    Martin,

    BTW, if you use the download link provided by Slideshare in the window, you must have a SlideShare account. If you did not log in with a valid Slideshare account, that is likely why you received the "slideshare account invalid" message".

    Every post in this series includes a link to a full pdf of the slides and notes.
