Deploying Horizon Cloud Services for vCenter: What Works, What Doesn’t
Horizon Cloud Services now allows users to deploy Horizon Edge on local vCenter clusters, streamlining the process by eliminating the need for on-premises connection servers. This new feature includes automated provisioning of Unified Access Gateways (UAGs) and simplifies access to VDI desktops. However, challenges remain, including slow deployment times and limited logging capabilities.

Commvault Just Dropped a Bomb at SHIFT 2025: Welcome to the Unity Era
I just wrapped up watching the replays and digging through the announcements from Commvault's SHIFT 2025 event in NYC last week and the Virtual event. And honestly? Wow, Just Wow! They call it the Commvault Cloud Unity platform release, and for once the marketing hyperbole feels... earned. Here's the jest of what they announced and why it actually got me excited in a world where most "big reveals" are just slideware.

Omnissa OS Optimization Tool (OSOT) Build: 12943850210 Not supported on Windows 11 – 24H2!
The deployment of Horizon 2412 for a new customer involved installing Windows 11 24H2 and creating a master image. Several issues arose, including problems with removing Store Apps and Sysprep failing due to BitLocker. Workarounds were provided for these issues, but inherent problems remain with the OS version that need addressing.
