Hi Joe,

After I amend the image for the 4th time when the golden image is re-deployed 
and it kicks into sysprep build fails with an unknown error.

This is an expected issue but one I wasn't aware of at the time, see link below:

My image would have citrix installed and all I would do is re-name, join to 
domain and join to citrix farm....but now I need to look at another way to 
create my golden image and deploy.

Cheers

Al

What issue are you having with re-arming?  Also, SCCM and PVS accomplish two 
different things.

Hi All,

I am looking at building new citrix images as currently using ESXi with a 
citrix vmdk, however with win2008R2 and the sysprep issues of only re-arming 3 
times (including service packs) this has left me to re-think how to deliver a 
citrix image.

I have read a little about PVS and SCCM but was wondering how best everyone 
else handles this topic, any good links on how to configure these would also be 
a great help.

Im looking at Xenapp6 Win2008R2 images while looking at upgrading to 6.5 on the 
horizon.

Thanks

Al
