Background:

Microsoft and Citrix have partnered together in the virtual desktop space. This virtual lab will lead you through a VDI deployment using Microsoft and Citrix technology – specifically Hyper-V R2, System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2, and Citrix XenDesktop 4. The lab takes about 90 minutes… so make sure you have enough time before starting.
