Cloning a XenApp Server with XenAppPrep

On the website http://shannonma.wordpress.com/2008/07/08/cloning-a-xenapp-server-with-xenappprep/ I found a nice tool to clone XenApp servers.

With XenAppPrep, you can easily clone your XenApp server via the following steps:

1. Setup the XenApp server that will be cloned with all of the apps and settings that you’d like in your image.
2. Install XenAppPrep.
3. Run the XenAppPrep command-line tool. This tool removes all of the machine-specific information from the XenApp install. If you plan on rolling out this image via Provisioning Server, you can use the /pvs switch.
4. Run any other generalization tools you would normally run (e.g. sysprep).
5. Capture an image of the server.
6. Push out the image to all servers that will be part of your farm.

Try it and have fun
