Greetings,
 
I've got a customer with a pretty simple, 9-server Windows 2003 Citrix PS 4.0 
Advanced Edition farm (with latest patches). They now wish to add a couple of 
new servers into the farm and have asked if it would be possible to virtualise 
them on XenServer. They do not have Subscription Advantage, so upgrading to the 
latest supported XenApp version is not currently an option.
 
I know from their DR testing that PS 4.0 will *run* in a virtual environment, 
but what I need to find out is does it *work* in a virtual environment? Are 
there any gotchas, workarounds, patches, etc. that I need to be aware of?
 
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Regards,
 
Paul
