Edgesight ADM

Yes, it's been a while since the last post. Sorry. Have you looked outside lately? The sun is out. I have a life. That means the give-a-shit quotent regarding things in the office takes a sharp decline. Since I pilfer work hours to update this blog, citrixguy.net falls within the scope of that phenominon.

Anyways, I came up with a basic ADM Template that I thought might be useful for some of you wokies that play with Edgesight. It allows you to set some fundamental settings that make managing your deployment a little less painful. Like most of these things, it's not as pretty as it could be (see also: give-a-shit quotent above), but it gets the job done and gives you something to play with.

There's five parameters I'm setting with this:
- the edgesight app server name
- the app server path
- the app server port
- The Department Name
- The Company Name

If you don't know how to make this work as a GPO, take your hands off the keyboard immediately and go fling yourself in front of the nearest bus. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you are a pus-filled boil on the ass of the IT industry.

All you not so dumb people, please enjoy with my compliments.
