VMware DEM – Prepare

Release date: January 10th 2019

Welcome to my VMware Dynamic Environment Manager series. In this session I will describe how I did the preparations-phase.

Preparing for the VMware DEM setup is not very difficult. The job can be divided into 3 parts:

1. Configure File Server DFS
2. Configure File Server Shares/Permissions
3. Configure GPO/Scripts

Some basic knowledge about Windows Files Shares and Group-Policy’s are required.So, what I need to before preparations are the following:

• Deploy file-servers
• Download Installation media including GPO-Templates
