Doing maintenance on a Two-Node (Direct Connect) vSAN configuration
Advertise here with BSA I was talking to a partner and customer last week at a VMUG. They were running a two node (direct connect) vSAN configuration and had some issues during maintenance which were, to them, not easy to explain. What they did is they placed the host which was in the “preferred fault domain” in to maintenance […] The post Doing maintenance on a Two-Node (Direct Connect) vSAN configuration appeared first on Yellow Bricks .

VDA subscription for VDI and RDSH
The current licensing strategy from Microsoft has been with us since 2014, so we should be familiar with it.

While a guide on all the permutations that the licensing methods could be written, it would rival War and Peace in length, so we will try to condense the viable aspects, specifically on how it relates to thin client computing. We also will only be focussing on the connection between end-point and service, so other licensing requirements will need to be addressed separately.
