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: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2011/05/11/sysprep-skiprearm-and-image-build-best-practices.aspx 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.

Also, SCCM and PVS accomplish two different things.

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.
