With VMware ViewTM 5, VMware introduces View Persona ManagementTM. View Persona Management preserves user profiles and dynamically synchronizes them with a remote profile repository. View Persona Management does not require the configuration of Windows roaming... [Lire la suite]

PCoIP Troubleshooting / VMware VIEW
I don't think it wouldn't be a bold statement for me to say that "out of the box" Teradici's PCoIP display protocol can perform flawlessly on a LAN or High-Speed WAN environment. However this may not always be the case and certainly over slow remote WAN links PCoIP can present a poor user experience. (Equally, so can any other remote display protocols)

Lync & Certificats Publics.. : Pas si publics que ça …
Bonjour
Plusieurs problèmes récents liés aux certificats et à Lync 2010 m’amène à poster cet article
