    I’m very interested in those VDM mods!

    Just spent like 2 or 3 hours browsing web sites and Wyse manuals about RDP optimization. Looks like not many people have thought about this. Which is not very astonishing considering most remote terminal services were probably ICA/Citrix up until now.

    Someone on VMware.com VDM forum suggested there is an “open API specification” for the VDI broker interface. Well, couldn’t find it. Tried “rdp_no_animation” in Google and with two hits it dawned on me that I was up a blind alley.

    I have looked at Provision Networks VAS and LeoStream (briefly) and both look like monstrous applications on their own. Adding those on top of the VDI concept and its own learning curve would be a little like handing the Wright brothers the keys to a 747, right after their first flight. Because of this I figured it would be more wise to settle for a nearly idiot proof VDM as desktop broker for the very first of projects.

    You know I’d hope Wyse is compensating you for all the brilliant answers you have given here. That alone has kept my main focus for the thin clients selection with Wyse still, despite the trouble I have run in.

    Thanks!

    Another issue:

    Suppose there are data centers all over the planet and some offices have relatively good connection to the broker (e.g. 100 MBit/s) while other remote branches have only got small DSL uplinks, even down to 1024/128 kbit/s.

    What I would like to do is is turn off all bandwidth guzzling terminal server settings like desktop background, font smoothing, shadows, etc. The MS mstsc.exe utility can control all this in properties so I assume a V10L could do the same.

    Question is… how? GPO on the VMs? A connect setting in wnos.ini (did shoot myself in the foot with this already, G-key reset to the rescue)?

    Ok I think I know what is going on with DHCP, I was mislead by the MS KB article. I will try setting the options into the Default Option Class and do away with my own vendor class alltogether.

    As for Wyse and Vista I will keep an eye on their download page for a little while. Our evaluation will most likely be finished in April or May 2008 so I hope they have something useable for Vista by then…

    Thanks for all the insight!
