Well we’ve all seen the Twitter posts, the blog entries, the articles – everyone is doing a bit of housekeeping for the New Year and it’s no different here

I played about in the lab a little last year and rebuilt the vCS – well I can tell you this much, View doesn’t like this very much. Orphaned VMs, Linked Clones, provisioning gone mad etc etc – so instead of just leaving it to error as I had done (other tasks more important, as you’ll see over the coming days with posts relating to ThinApp Converter) I actually bothered to fix the issues

Nice KB post from VMware “Manually deleting linked clones or stale virtual desktop entries from VMware View Manager” http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1008658

Work through end-to-end, no issues. The one thing I will add there is some assumed knowledge with regard to using the Microsoft SQL Management Studio and directly editing tables etc – but if you’ve come this far you should know where to look for answers and not be too bothered about the possible consequences of a typo or incorrect click of the mouse – backup people, backup!
