Here is an article I wrote a few years back but never published.  While it is somewhat antiquated, it may prove useful to someone.

Did you know that Citrix has a tool that can help you clone Presentation Servers/XenApp 4.0/4.5?

It was developed by Pete Downing and friends to integrate XenApp with Provisioning Server.  Specifically to allow XenApp to work with PVS’s standard image mode.  If think about it, every time you stream a XenApp standard image it’s exactly like cloning a server.

Well, I’m sitting at the airport on my way to BriForum!  It’s going to be an exciting one, I can just feel it.

Be sure to come and see at least one of my sessions.  I’ll be helping Steve Greenberg with is his Day 1 10:00 am Hardware vs OS Virtualization session.   Later in the day, Steve and I are presenting the “Why VDI” session or as we call it “Y-VDI”.  That session will go on at 5:30 pm on Day 1.  The Y-VDI session is going up against heavyweights Brian Madden, Rick Mack and Claudio so in order to entice you to see our session I have aquired some cool t-shirts to give away as prizes. ;o)   Finally, at 8:30 am Day 3,  Rick Mack, Eric Musgrave, Tim Mangan and myself will conducting the “Bring us your hardest printing problems Workshop”.  Yes t-shirts will be given away in all 3 sessions.

As for the rest of the sessions, they all look awesome so you really can't go wrong. The conference guide can be found here.
