Anyone have experience with ControlUp Edge DX & XenApp provisioned TS / VDI?
A user asked about experience with EdgeDX and XenApp provisioned TS/VDI and was recommended to deploy RealTimeDX instead due to its stateless nature and the fact that it will need rebooting to change the device ID and lose historical reports. To overcome this for Teams Monitoring, the user could install the EdgeDX Agent with a known switch, make a hardcoded link from the C and D drives, and set the custom RegisterWithDeviceName setting to be true. The user then asked if this was officially supported and if it would be coming to EdgeDX or Realtime/Solve, and was told that it is very interesting.

Don’t see local network drive mappings as we are used to see when connecting trough traditional RDP or other RDP managers in ControlUp

Script to show individual monitor and site capacity and usage with ControlUp’s Real-Time DX
Dennis created a script to help admins monitor and track the capacity and usage of their supported environment with ControlUp's Real-Time DX. An accompanying graphic helps explain the capacity of monitors, which ControlUp's online calculator (https://calc.controlup.com/) can help to determine. Dennis also shared a blog post (https://www.controlup.com/resources/blog/entry/controlup-monitor-cluster-sizing/) providing more information about monitor sizing.

Help troubleshooting why we can not update agents via the ControlUp Console?
A user asked why agents cannot be updated via the ControlUp console. It is likely due to lack of admin rights, but AppVolumes can interfere with unzipping files. A possible workaround could be using the monitor command, updating the .NET version to 4.8, or using an Appvolume with the ControlUp agent. The Appvolume method has so far worked successfully.

Experiencing Poor Performance in Remote DX on VMs?
Users have experienced poor performance when using ControlUp Remote DX on virtual machines, and wondered if others have had similar issues. It was suggested that they try RDP on a physical machine to test the issue, and to use LDAP or SAML with Solve instead of VNCing through a jump-box. As a workaround, users can minimize their VM for the app they need, which is a little inconvenient, but can make their lives easier.
