3 Gold Image What is a gold image? A gold image is what all of your pooled desktops is based off. How do you minimize the number of gold images you need? Application virtualization using a product such as ThinApp can minimize the number of gold images needed by removing applications from the image layer and moving them to the presentation layer.

4 Gold Image Considerations for gold image Drivers Make sure all the different printers you will need have drivers installed in the gold image Make sure 3 rd party devices you want to use are part of your gold image, such as web cameras or USB CD drives USB Drives Do you want to allow users the ability to plug in and copy files from the network to USB drives? Disable Copy/Paste You can turn on and off the ability to copy and paste from a PCoIP session to regular desktop sessions if needed.

15 Persona Management How to handle the Users Persona (Windows Profile) is another critical design decision. Leaving the Users Windows Profile within the Virtual Desktop either limits the infrastructure to dedicated Desktops; or results in Users leaving pieces of their profile across every Desktop they use. Leaving Windows Profiles within the Virtual Desktop without redirecting them to Persistent Disks results in OS disk bloat. If using Linked Clones, Windows Profiles that are not redirected to Persistent Disks or to the Network are lost on Desktop Refresh, Recomposition and Rebalance.
