This article describes how-to setup client deployment directly from the Web Interface (5.4.0). When the Web Interface is installed directly from the XenApp installation, there is no question/part where the clients are installed from the DVD.

First we copy the clients from the folder: “Citrix Receiver and Plug-ins” on the installation source to the following location: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\Web Interface\5.4.0\Client”

When there is a one OSD for all type’s of computers in the network and you want specific software deployed only on laptops, here is the howto

What’s the differences between a laptop and a desktop? Correct, the battery. So the simplest way to achieve our goal is to check if there is a battery present in the system.

Open the OSD Task Sequence and add the required step.

In this blogpost I will describe how to reduce the WinSxS folder in the Windows folder after installing SP1. All superseded files are removed. And you cannot uninstall SP1 anymore. To know what the WinSxS folder is, read this blogpost of Joseph Conway.

First off all, how big is my WinSxS folder? Right click on it says around 9GB.

But it contains hardlinks, so how big is it for real?? Download ctTrueSize. Run: ctts C:\Windows\WinSxS

9,35GB – 1,04GB = 8,30GB

Na de Nederlandse vertaling voor de WebInterface is hier dan de vertaling voor de Access Gateway Enterprise. Gemaakt door mijn grote vriend en AGEE guru: Henny Louwers.

In my previous post I enabled BitLocker on both my partitions (Link). The trick now is to reinstall Windows without decrypting the system. In this example my data is stored on the second partition (Data Partition or D:) and that partition is encrypted and must be preserved.

When booted from media. The installer is asking on which partition it will install Windows. Because BitLocker has encrypted the old system partition, we aren’t able to format the partition. Just delete the partition, recreate it, format and install Windows. (Do not touch the data partition). If you want to preserve the data on the old system partition, you have to recover that partition. (Hmmm new post will come in the future )

After my experience with TrueCrypt and reinstalling Windows (Link). I was wondering how the Microsoft encryption works. I’m running Windows 7 Ultimate and within this version (and Enterprise) BitLocker is available. The net steps show howto encrypt the boot/system partition.

This how-to shows how to create a report in System Center Configuration Manager with computer information like serial number etc.

Open the Management Console. Navigate to Reporting. Right click on Reports and select New –> Report.
Give it a name. Select the category under which the report will be displayed. (eg Hardware – General) Click on: Edit SQL Statement.
Paste the Statement(displayed and the bottom of this blog post.) in the SQL Statement box. Remove the default statement.
Run the report and it will display al kind off useful stuff. Like the Serial Number.
