Thank you for choosing XenDesktop 5!
The recommended approach to get your software is to use our new Standard Download package. This gives you all the software components as a single download. If individual packages are needed, you can use the Custom Download.
For reference, Citrix eDocs provides complete, online documentation on XenDesktop 5. Recommended sections to help you get started are: What's New, System Requirements, Planning, Evaluating, Quick Deploy, Installing and Upgrading.
UPDATE!: As of March 16th 2011, two exciting updates have been provided for XenDesktop 5 customers.
Firstly, we have released a set of tools to help customers migrate from existing XenDesktop 4 deployments to new XenDesktop 5 installations.
Secondly, we are releasing a hotfix to Provisioning Services which integrates the PVS Setup Tool functionality directly into the PVS management console. This allows simple and easy machine creation using PVS and XenDesktop 5.
These tools can be found only in the Custom Download category under Web Packages.
We hope you find XenDesktop 5 to be the simplest, most powerful Desktop Virtualization solution.
