Earlier this year, Brian and I recorded a few instructional videos for Citrix, and they've recently been placed on Citrix's Tech Videos website.

Brian's video takes a deep look at CPU & DLL optimization in a video entitled "Optimizing you Application's CPU & Memory Performance." While these topics are advanced, Brian shows that you can take control of your environment at a deeper level by using Citrix CPU Utilization Managment and Memory Optimization Management.  You'll probably need a propeller hat for it -- topics covered include in-depth PerfMon analysis, DLL rebasing, and getting the most out of Process Explorer.

My video, entitled "User Environment – Profiles and Group Policy", covers best practices for group policies, folder redirection, and profiles. This video is meant to be a starting point that can be used in most environments, and outlines a framework for a scalable design using out-of-the-box methods. There are also short discussions about Group Policy Preferences (included with Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008) and Flex Profiles.
