All You (N)ever Wanted to Know about Logon & Group Policy Performance

Conferences
Published May 8, 2015 Updated Mar 4, 2019

Citrix Synergy, E2EVC and BriForum are just around the corner. I will be presenting at each of these conferences. Here are a few tidbits to whet your appetite.

Citrix Synergy Orlando

Having spent the majority of the past weeks preparing my sessions it feels good to finally be able to present! I will be on stage at next week’s Citrix Synergy Orlando three days in a row, starting Tuesday, May 12th at 2 PM with SYN502 - I’ve got 99 problems, and folder redirection is every one of them. That session is a follow-up to the last year’s very successful folder redirection presentation, and I am co-presenting with the awesome Aaron Parker (@stealthpuppy) and Shawn Bass (@ShawnBass).

Group Policy

Next up on Wednesday, May 13th at 3:30 PM is SYN509 - How Group Policy Impacts Logon Performance.

User Logon

A day later, on Thursday May 14th at 8:30 AM you can learn even more about the Windows logon process in SYN409 - Dissecting the XenApp/XenDesktop Logon Process.

E2EVC Orlando

As a community conference E2EVC is a great way to get to know, share and learn with and from the many awesome people in the virtualization community. E2EVC is right after Synergy in a nearby location which makes it convenient (and definitely worthwhile) to stay an extra day or two. I will be demoing our user experience analytics tool uberAgent on Friday, May 15th at 1:30 PM and explain how to easily impress your customers with the cool data it provides.

BriForum London

With only a one-day stop back at home my next destination is London, where you have another chance to hear Dissecting the XenApp / XenDesktop Logon Process and How Group Policy Impacts Logon Performance, albeit in much more detail as BriForum sessions with their 75 minutes duration offer a lot more room for explanation than the 45 minutes sessions at Synergy.

Even More

Back from London, you can find me in Bielefeld at bluecue’s solution seminar on May 21st.

I am already looking forward to E2EVC Berlin where I will be demoing uberAgent on Friday, June 12th at 3:30 PM and repeating the Dissecting the XenApp/XenDesktop Logon Process session on Saturday, June 13th at 3:30 PM.

Later in June I will travel to beautiful Vaduz, Liechtenstein, and Basel, Switzerland, to present at LC Systems’ Splunk events.

I hope to see you at one or more of these great events in the coming weeks!

Hear Me Speak and Talk to Me

Do you like what you read in this blog but have questions I did not answer (yet)? Or do you prefer listening and talking to live human beings instead of sitting alone in front of your screen? Well, come hear me speak and tell me what you think! This summer I will be speaking at the following conferences (all in Germany and in German, I am afraid):

Laudation to E2EVC - Experts to Experts Virtualization Conference

Laudation to E2EVC - Experts to Experts Virtualization Conference

On the eve of my departure for E2EVC Athens I feel it is time for a laudation. Let me explain why. Athens will be my 22nd E2EVC out of 40 events total. In the past eight years, I attended every single E2EVC event in Europe and the US. There is a reason for that, of course. It is certainly not an overabundance of time on my part or even wanderlust. It is simply the fact that E2EVC’s creator, Alex Cooper, has done the most remarkable thing. He single-handedly established the Citrix community in Europe (and helped along the greater end-user community quite a bit). That is a - very - significant achievement.

Identifying MS Teams Application Instances & Counting App Starts

Identifying MS Teams Application Instances & Counting App Starts

Microsoft Teams is a web application that needs a browser as a runtime environment. In order to keep things simple - at the expense of disk space - the Teams installation package contains not only the actual web app but also all components that are needed to run it, including Chromium. When you launch Teams, you’re really launching the Chromium browser, which then executes the embedded Teams web app. Teams’ browser-based architecture presents challenges when you want to count the number of Teams instances that are running or when you need to find out how many instances of Teams have been started. This article presents multiple ways to determine accurate application usage data.

You'll Know Me by My Shirt at Citrix iForum / Synergy / Summit 2009

I will be attending the combined Citrix events iForum, Synergy and Summit 2009 in Las Vegas, which start in just a few days. As always, I hope to meet great people and have interesting conversations there. In case you want to talk to me, you need to locate me first. That should not be too difficult, though, given that I will be wearing these shirts most of the time:

In this second post, I’m listing the exact configuration that achieves the lofty goal of combining minimal idle power consumption with top Cinebench scores.

Scripted WordPress to Hugo Migration

Scripted WordPress to Hugo Migration

After having published in WordPress for almost 20 years, it was time for a change. This site is now rendered by Hugo, a static website generator built for Markdown content hosted in a Git repository. The migration from WordPress (HTML) to Hugo (Markdown) was far from trivial. Since I couldn’t find any tool for the job, I developed my own set of migration scripts that fully automate the migration process. You can find them on GitHub along with extensive documentation.

Mitsubishi Heat Pump Data in Home Assistant via Modbus

This article shows how to get detailed information about your Mitsubishi heat pump’s status and operations into Home Assistant. Prerequisites You’ll need a Mitsubishi Modbus interface, either the older A1M (serial Modbus/RTU via RS-485 only) or the newer A1M+ (Modbus/TCP via Ethernet in addition to Modbux/RTU). I’m using the Ethernet variant.
