Once all the planning and design work is complete, we can begin the actual build process. A XenApp site consists of one or more controllers, product licenses, and supporting databases. We have supporting components, which we can use as well. These supporting components include provisioning services, file and print servers, Director, and so on. For now, we will focus on building our XenApp site, starting with our controllers. We will cover some of the other components in future chapters.
The following provides a quick start guide or check list to rapidly deploy your XenApp site. The following sections provide more detail, including reference graphics; however, this quick start guide provides a handy reference:
Create a standardized server OS template.
Deploy a VM from the template for use as a controller.
Configure this VM with a static IP address and join to the domain.
Make sure the Active Directory machine object is placed...
