Author : Ingmar Verheij Processors have the ability to save energy by entering a low-power mode. Each processor has serveral power modes called “C-states”. The C-states are introduced with the 486DX4 processor and are still present in the current processors. Over time more C-states are introduced to lower the power consumption and save energy.

Recently I wrote a PowerShell script that connects to the console of a virtual machine on a Citrix XenServer, without using XenCenter or the Web Self Service portal. This allowed me to offer a published application to my users so they can connect to the console session. But what if they want to connect via […]

If you want to connect to the console of a virtual machine running on Citrix XenServer you either need XenCenter or the Web Self Service portal.

Author : Ingmar Verheij I was looking for a free application to discover which applications where used in a environment. This is very useful when planning a major change in an environment (physical to virtual, or SBC to VDI, etc).

Author : Ingmar Verheij A great built-in feature in Microsoft Office Visio 2010 is the ‘Reverse Engineer’ feature.

Author : Ingmar Verheij I’ve built a lab to run some tests on Citrix XenApp. Since this is a lab environment I do not have enough resources to create dedicated machines for each role. Therefore I found it justified to create a virtualized domain controller (dc001.domain.local) with multiple roles and multi-homed (Boooohhh, I know). The […]
