Guys, I need some pointers here for information. Were in the middle of a project for a potential client and are starting to see a political mess coming up with their preferred vendor (clone servers). The servers that they have sold the client doesn't support warm reboots. You have to physically turn these machines off to reboot them. (don't ask why!!!!) Not to mention these servers are way overspec'ed for the role of a term server. I stated that we need to have these machines able to reboot quickly as part of a maintenance plan of cycled reboots. Nothing new here!! I do have some information/white papers from citrix stating this is best practice. But have nothing from M$ or anyone else as I can see the client and vendor starting to ask for reasons why. I know the reasons for this, but I need ammo to present to the client from Citrix/M$ and anyone else. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
