Bart Jacobs’s Toolbox Inventory

Back in March 2020, just before things got really weird, I finally started my own blog: https://www.cloudsparkle.be/. My very first post was also published on this very site here: https://www.carlwebster.com/bart-jacobss-toolbox-copyadgroupmembers/). For…

Notice of Site Cleanup

Recently I came across a broken link in one of my articles. I then found a Broken Link Checker tool for WordPress and ran it. The results left me speechless. After running for over 48 hours, the tool found almost 7,000 broken links. Most of the broken links are for images put on a server that must no longer exist. I have fixed almost 3,000 missing images and other broken links. There are still almost 4,000 missing images left to fix. Almost all the missing images are for old articles for products that Citrix and Microsoft no longer offer or support. I have decided that I don’t want to spend the days it will take to replace all the missing images in the articles for dead products.

Learning the Basics of VMware Horizon 7.12 – Questions, Lessons Learned, and Conclusions

[Updated 4-Sep-2021]

Introduction

I started this series to learn just the basics of VMware Horizon. I did not read any blogs or articles on setting up Horizon. I watched some of Greg Shields’ Pluralsight course on Horizon 7 when I was confused about some of the permissions needed for the shares and files.

My goal was to see if it was possible to figure out how to work with Horizon using as many default install options and configurations as possible. As stated in Part 1, I did not want to install any additional software, if at all possible.

New Script: Documenting Parallels Remote Application Server with Microsoft PowerShell

It is my honor to introduce a new documentation script to the End User Computing community. This new script documents Parallels Remote Application Server (RAS) and is based on version 17.1. I started work on this script on February 9, 2018, with RAS 16.0. It has taken 1 day shy of 2.5 years to finish the script. It took several product and PowerShell cmdlet updates to get to where I could document the majority of the product.

Learning the Basics of VMware Horizon 7.12 – Part 16 – Tearing Down the Horizon Lab

[Updated 4-Sep-2021]

Whew, that was a lot to cover in over 400 screenshots and 450 pages. After completing your Horizon testing, there is a step-by-step process to undo all the work done in Chapters 1 through 15. Others may prefer their order, but I am sure we all accomplish the same end goal, returning the lab to the pre-Horizon 7.12 state.
