Chapter 4. Managing Delivery Groups

You've built a XenDesktop Site, learned about machine catalogs, hosts, and Personal vDisks. You have also been exposed to the delivery group wizard. In this chapter, we will expand on delivery groups including the following topics:

  • Managing delivery groups

  • Managing hosted applications

  • Managing Delivery Controllers

As you learned in the previous chapter, collections of virtual desktops or physical computers are managed as a single entity called a machine catalog. As an administrator, you deliver desktops to users by creating a catalog of machines and then allocate the machines in the catalog to users by creating delivery groups. You can also deliver applications to users by creating application delivery groups. You can change the delivery groups at any time, meaning that you can add desktops or applications to a delivery group at any time.
