The following has three evals for download, including a ready to use VHD.http://www.citrix.com/English/ps2/products/feature.asp?contentID=2300371 I must admit that I failed to get the VHD to work on my XenServer (version 5.6) and spent more than 5 minutes trying so just installed 2008 R2 and XenApp 6 (after a 4.8GB download) as it was quicker Hope this helps.

Zaits wrote: » Well my exam is scheduled for tomorrow and I'm a bit disappointed in the amount of studying I was able to get in. I'm hoping today is a slow day at work so I can do some last minute cramming in.

Zaits wrote: » Well just got done taking the exam and I was not expecting that. Obviously I can't say much about the exam because of the NDA, but wow... talking about a mental drain. I wont know how I did for 6-8 weeks, but I can't imagin I passed. I'm not upset by it because I used this opporunity as a learning experience for the real exam when it comes out. Hopefully by then there will be more studying material.
