This document summarizes a presentation about managing flexible desktop delivery with RES Dynamic Desktop Studio. It discusses the evolution of application and desktop delivery options, introducing the concept of a hybrid desktop. It then describes how RES Workspace Manager provides user workspace management to address challenges with hybrid desktop environments. It includes a customer case study and demo of how RES integrates with Citrix FlexCast to provide advanced administration, security, and personalization features.
29. For a new generation of users whose needs, devices and locations change regularly, focus is on providing a “hybrid desktop”
30. Combining delivery approaches (often used simultaneously) to satisfy the increasingly complex requirements of their end-users

35. Ensuring consistent personalization wherever and however users connect so they don’t waste time recreating preferences Challenges with Hybrid Desktops Maintaining required configurations and compliance such as mapping users to the correct network resources for their location, locking down desktops where appropriate and supporting corporate compliance in the user’s environment (i.e. legal disclaimers in an email signature) Enforcing security associated with the applications people can use, the data they can access, and the actions they can perform based on their location, device, and network connection Tracking usage of the many elements of the hybrid desktop infrastructure, from applications to server sessions, to maintain licensing compliance

56. The Offline Data Dilemma Mobile users require a subset of their data to be available offline (documents, e-mail) Windows Offline Folders are difficult to set up and troubleshoot Microsoft SyncToy works great but is not an enterprise solution Use Folder Synchronization to design the data neighborhood around the user and control how data automatically follows the user B
57. The User Profile Barrier Local Desktop Profiles versus Remote Desktop Profiles V1 User Profiles (XP) versus V2 User Profiles (Windows 7) Virtualized applications versus installed applications Roaming User Profiles are: Monolithic Session based Not versioned Use Zero Profile Technology to store user settings independently per application, apply settings just in time and roll back user settings on demand B
58. Dealing with E-mail Settings Each user requires unique but uniform e-mail signature Each business unit requires their own legal disclaimer Each desktop type needs a different Outlook config Scripting only deals with config and is not suitable for virtual apps and is difficult to troubleshoot E-mail profiles get corrupted over time and are depending on roaming user profiles Use E-mail Settings to control and configure e-mail signatures, legal disclaimers and connect mailboxes for any user on any device B
