A Case for a Layered Approach to Deploying Windows Desktops

Making Decisions in Desktop Deployment
- Dedicated Desktop Assignment vs Floating Desktop Assignment
Caveat: Dedicated Desktops can only have Full VMs or Linked Clones NOT  Instant Clones
  Full Virtual Machines < Linked Clones < Instant Clones

Instant Clones limitations:
- No Dedicated Desktops
- No Hardware Graphics Acceleration
- Maximum of two Monitors
- No RDS Host Farms
- No SysPrep (nor vmware QuickPrep); No SID Replacement, No Horizon Persona Management

Tools in Personalising Windows Images
- SysPrep, QuickPrep, ClonePrep

SysPrep	QuickPrep	ClonePrep
