This is highly dependant on the size of the firm and IT group.  When you are a $40 billion dollar 130k employee company you have enough diversity in the IT skills that complexity can be managed or tolerated.  If your IT team is only 10 people, it's not likely you will have all the skills needed in a highly complex configuration, unless you outsource, but that outsourcing will be expensive which again, not good for a small firm.

We are dealing with a specific issue in our VDI non-persistent environment, which operates using Omnissa Horizon (formerly VMware). We are employing a hybrid join for authentication that integrates ADFS and Entra ID.   Here are the details of our problem:   1. **Environment**: VDI non-persistent using Omnissa Horizon 2. **Authentication Method**: Hybrid join with ADFS and Entra ID 3. **Issue**: Users are experiencing difficulties authenticating to Microsoft 365 apps within the virtual machine. The authentication process gets stuck in a loop when attempting to access the smartcard. I would appreciate any insights or experiences from others who have encountered similar issues or have a similar environment working successfully.

We're a manufacturing enterprise currently using Rockwell FactoryTalk on the OT side, with our infrastructure traditionally built on VMware. As many of you are likely aware, the Broadcom acquisition has significantly increased VMware support costs, prompting us to evaluate alternatives as we plan our next infrastructure refresh. One option we're considering is Microsoft Hyper-V. However, Rockwell does not officially support or test FactoryTalk on Hyper-V, which raises some concerns. I'm reaching out to the community to ask: - Is anyone currently running Rockwell FactoryTalk on a Hyper-V infrastructure in production or test environments? - What has your experience been in terms of stability, performance, and supportability? - Have you encountered any compatibility issues or limitations? Would you recommend this approach, or suggest sticking with VMware (or exploring other options)? Any insights, lessons learned, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
