- If you are using MDT 2012 Update 1 and are trying to capture a Windows 8 image you might hit this issue with LTIApply.wsf. The KB tells you how to modify LTIApply.wsf to fix the issue.
- Brian Madden has posted his thoughts on the future of of the Windows desktop. I don’t think any of these predictions are very bold, they seem pretty obvious to me. Perhaps it is earth shattering to the desktop management crew? I would have thought the writing would have been seen on the wall for awhile now.
- Jack Madden over at Brian Madden has a post on Windows 8.1 Mobile Device Management (MDM). Looks like it won’t enable us to go to the completely unmanaged Windows desktop utopia right now but I’m sure it will get better over time. Although I guess Microsoft has to worry about how competent they make it as it could start impacting other BUs long term.
- Good news everyone! F5 have dropped the price of their LTM VE lab editions to approx. USD$95. Here in Australia the going rate was about AUD$2000 so this represents a significant saving. With this price it is worth adding these VMs to your lab and I look forward to trying out NSX with these new VEs when I’m able to get ahold of NSX. I’ve bought two to test failover but I’m still waiting on my license keys. Unfortunately not all resellers have updated and the prices I have available in Australia are the old ones, however, Packet Pushers have a blog post on where to order it. The licenses are delivered digitally.
