  • 1.  What is VDI

    Posted Feb 02, 2018 02:26 PM

    I need a little clarification about what constitutes a "VDI".  I have a Vitrtual Citrix environment that contains 40 XenApp VDA-Agents.  Would I create a VDI install package for those servers, and then treat my other Citrix servers (Xenapp Controllers, Xenapp Storefron Servers, License/SQL/File Servers, etc) as a just a standard VM client?

     

    Thank you.

    Yes, you'd want to treat the VDI clients themselves differently than the other Citrix servers:

    There are couple different packages but the reduced package is usually what you'd use.

    Hello,

    Yes, create Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) install packages for those servers and then different for Citrix servers.
