From what I can tell the -RunAsync resolved the timeout/runaway behavior. The colon was needed in this case. Get-VC virtualcenter-server.name

We have two servers running VMware Standard edition. Do you believe it will be worth it? Or do we have to upgrade our VMware licenses to Enterprise before upgrading virtual center to make it worth it.

]]> Comment on Citrix on VI3.x recommendations by VMware:Citrix on VMware Recommendations « ACC http://virtualfuture.info/2008/07/citrix-on-vi3x-recommendations/#comment-654 VMware:Citrix on VMware Recommendations « ACC Sun, 21 Dec 2008 22:02:40 +0000 http://virtualfuture.info/?p=75#comment-654 [...] Many Citrix shops do a good deal of work maintaining multiple images – deploying applications in ‘stovepipe’ configurations…  that is to say, multiple small groups of Citrix servers, each dedicated to a specific set of applications.  Frequently, this is due to largely due to application incompatibility.  However, it results in the Citrix admin being required to maintain several different images for the Citrix farm. Even if the shop has standardized on a single Citrix image, they will not be using the company’s standard application deployment methodology…  Terminal Services is too funky with regards to application deployment, and requires much handholding.  Most Citrix shops has compeletely separate processes for packaging applications for a PC versus a Citrix server. VMware ThinApp (http://www.thinstall.com) can be used to image your applications separately from the Citrix image… In fact, an application that has been packaged with ThinApp on Windows 2003 will work on Terminal Services, Citrix, Windows XP, and Vista, eliminating the need to package that application for the different platforms.  Furthermore, ThinApp includes a ‘sandbox’ to prevent applications from conflicting with each other.  You simply place the packaged application on a file share on the network, accessible to the Citrix servers (or PCs, or both), and you are done.  Your users simply execute the application from the shared directory, and they are off and running.  This results in a win-win for the customer – the ability to package an application once, and use it for either a PC environment or a Citrix environment.
