[THIN] Re: Citrix Provisioning Server tips?

That sounds like an important tip when using Provisioning Server since the disk is over the network!!

Ahh, Windows search fun.  Vista kicks off a full index of the disk after install.  You can stop that by stopping the Windows Search service.  I suggest leaving it off all together personally, greatly improves performance.

Also,  once you install Vista do not immediately install the client and create a vdisk.  Give Vista about an hour or so to calm down.  XP does not have this issue.

Duh... lol  I know that.  I read the docs for 4.5 and the beta 5.0 cover to cover.

Has anyone out there been using Provisioning server or played around with it? 
If so and you have set up a  Vista image have you come up with any best practices or must do's to Vista OS,  prior to creating the Vdisk master image?  I guess it would be similar to what you might want to do prior to creating a VHD/VMDK of Vista. (except I haven't seen much on that either)

Anyone seen any blog posts out there with tips on doing so? If not I may just have to start and make my own list and post.

Thanks,
