VMware Operating System Optimisation Tool - VMware Flings

This week I've been playing with the VMware Horizon product and also looking at the VMware Horizon 7: Install, Configure, and Manage [7.3] course.

In the course we look at desktop optimisation, and a tool we look at is the The VMware OS Optimization Tool

The VMware OS Optimization Tool helps optimize Windows 7/8/2008/2012/10 systems for use with VMware Horizon View. The optimization tool includes customisable templates to enable or disable Windows system services and features, per VMware recommendations and best practices, across multiple systems. Since most Windows system services are enabled by default, the optimization tool can be used to easily disable unnecessary services and features to improve performance.

You can perform the following actions using the VMware OS Optimization Tool:

•     Local Analyze/Optimize

•     Remote Analyze

•     Optimization History and Rollback

•     Managing Templates

The tool is available for download from the VMware Flings website 

VMware also have a useful PDF called the:

VMware Horizon 7.3 webcast

One of the courses I teach is the VMware Horizon View Install, Configure, and manage, and I've been working with VMware Virtual desktop technologies for quite a while now.

As such the announcement that Horizon 7.3 is here, is something I'll be interested to examine further.

VMware are running a webcast for EMEA on Thursday 28th September 2017 at 12:00PM, follow the link below to register for this event, or if you're based elsewhere in the world, VMware are running three events covering all regions

The event will be presented by Johnathan Perrott and John Hathaway, both of VMware and will last approx an hour.

Join us for a walk through of the new features including App Shortcuts and Dedicated Instant Clone Support. We’ll help you understand how Horizon 7.3 can enhance and build on your current Horizon feature set.

See you there (virtually), I'll be watching during my lunch hour.
