 Upgrade RES AM Linux Agents, Isolating PVS streaming traffic, PVD/CPM Updates.

Ian Brighton published an article in which he describes how to upgrade RES Automation Manager Agents on Linux systems.

One of the myths is to isolate Citrix Provisioning Services (PVS) traffic on a specific VLAN. Nick Rintalan is describing why this was a best practice about five years ago, discussing that those reasons are not valid anymore and in which case you would like to isolate the traffic in the article Is isolating the PVS Streaming Traffic really a Best Practice.

Citrix updated both Personal vDisk (PVD) to version 5.6.6 which removes the need for an assigned drive letter for apps, dynamic balance between apps/profile space and reduces CPU overhead. In the same time Citrix Profile Management 4.11 is released, which includes support for personal vDisk, Group Policy Enhancements and Simplified default inclusions and exclusions.
