Wisdom-Fu! Find dumpfiles and alert by email.

From the community hero dept. I just got a LinkedIn update on a new cool article, written by Alain Assaf over at the CDC. He’s created a recipe on how to create a Wisdom module which will look for windows dump files, collect them centrally and report back to you by email. Pretty darn nifty if you ask me!

You can read the full article here:  Wisdom-Fu: Email alert when you find a memory dump. There is also a forum thread about this. Wisdom-Fu…  Gotta love it! :-) Keep up the great work Alain!

Wisdom SR3 is out!

From the New Hotness dept. Today Sept 28th, RES released the Service Release 3 for Wisdom. There are many fixes in this release. Only enhancement is full support for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2, which now can be selected in OS related condition.

A related question was asked by one of our community members in regards to the difference between the Wisdom Interim 1 release currently available to our EAP members and this release. Product management has this to offer:

“RES Wisdom 2009 SR3 is newer than RES Wisdom 5.4.1.0 IR1, but SR3 only contains bugfixes and a backport of Windows 7/ Server 2008 R2 support in conditions. All new features built in IR1 are NOT part of SR3. The Windows 7/ Server 2008 R2 support is NOT part of the IR1.”

Installing XenApp with Wisdom

From the Sharing-is-Caring dept. In our ongoing efforts to provide value to the community, we here at RESug strive to provide you with  goodies and documents well worth reading. This time around it’s a document which describes how you can use RES Wisdom to install Citrix XenApp servers automagically. As stated in the document, it’s not a best practice guide – it’s a training guide, which will provide a working example, however you may very well have to adapt it for usage in your own environment. It is however very comprehensive and will teach you by example on how to get the most out of RES Wisdom

The document was authored by and kindly shared with the RES UserGroup by Brian Casselman at RES Software, US. Thanks Brian – you rock!

As of today, new or changed knowledge base articles are available on the RES Software Solution Assurance Portal. These articles refer to PowerFuse, Wisdom and the RES Subscriber (Agent)/RES PowerFuse Workspace Extender. I’m guessing things haven’t changed much at RES Software HQ since their last updates because the list is huge again!
