I’ve been able to experience the results of implementing Workspace Environment Management into a Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop environment. I was easily able to obtain at least a 50% reduction in logon duration. I understand the why. I want to now understand the how. Let’s first examine the Windows logon process. When a user enters… Continue reading How does Workspace Environment Management Improve Windows Logon Time
