VMware Dynamic Environment Manager

Welcome to my VMware Dynamic Environment Manager series, how I setup “DEM” in my LAB. This series will cover the different aspects of planning, deploying etc. Having worked with VDI and RDS for 15 years +, this product was an apparition for me. I absolutely love it and will recommend it to everyone working with End User Computing! This LAB setup was initially done with VMware UEM 9.5. Since then VMware has rebranded User Environment Manager to Dynamic Environment Manager, so a lot of my pictures and naming-context are somewhat outdated, i apologize for this, but the content are nonetheless relevant.
