Ahh, Windows search fun. Vista kicks off a full index of the disk after install. You can stop that by stopping the Windows Search service. I suggest leaving it off all together personally, greatly improves performance. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joe Shonk Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 4:16 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Citrix Provisioning Server tips? Also, once you install Vista do not immediately install the client and create a vdisk. Give Vista about an hour or so to calm down. XP does not have this issue.

Has anyone out there been using Provisioning server or played around with it? If so and you have set up a Vista image have you come up with any best practices or must do's to Vista OS, prior to creating the Vdisk master image? I guess it would be similar to what you might want to do prior to creating a VHD/VMDK of Vista. (except I haven't seen much on that either) Anyone seen any blog posts out there with tips on doing so? If not I may just have to start and make my own list and post. Thanks, Jim Kenzig Blog: http://www.techblink.com
