A three-week EUC catch-up: the critical NetScaler CVE-2026-19490, August Patch Tuesday's exploited zero-day, the Horizon 8 2606 wave, and Login Enterprise goes agentic.

A quiet summer week in EUC: Thomas Marcussen's Entra SMS and voice MFA retirement playbook, a passkey migration setting, Login Enterprise 6.8.6, ControlUp, IGEL UMS and more.

This week's EUC roundup leans on the community: Niehaus on WSUS, Reinhard on Enterprise App Management, Billekens' vendor-neutral Workspace Optimizer, a GO-EUC benchmark, and Omnissa's Forrester win.

Weekly End User Computing roundup for 15-22 July 2026: NetScaler CVE-2026-8451 still exploited, a record Windows Patch Tuesday, Entra retiring SMS/voice MFA, XenServer 9 preview, Nutanix and vSphere deadlines, Intune E3/E5 changes and more.

Recently got involved in designing and building a new awesome blistering fast Omnissa Horizon environment for a hospital. This new environment is based on the latest Horizon ESB, DEM, AppVolumes, Windows 11 etc. And as many hospitals do, they use Imprivata OneSign. We ran into a bug. When logging in to the desktop (either Imprivata Client or Horizon client directly) we got confronted by the Imprivata GINA screen. Once again entering credentials and the desktop continues. Reco

Ran into a little bug yesterday while implementing VMware Horizon and Imprivata. Appliances rolled out, configured the site, policy's etc. etc. On the regular Windows endpoints this worked as expected. Login went fine, tabbed a badge, entering additional credentials if required by policy and the session would beautifully start, locking, roaming, smooth as silk.. Pushed the Imprivata agent to the Thin Clients (Dell Wyse based on Windows 10 IoT, although the brand does not matt

VMware Horizon Instant Clones and Active Directory Computer GPO’s.. There is just a little caveat with Instant Clones where the GPO's don't always seem to apply.. I’ve seen a couple of times people struggling with this especially when they are used work with Citrix PVS, MCS, VMware Linked Clones, persistent VDI's or anything that has a regular boot process.. So in this blog I will explain why this happens with Instant Clones and a way to cope with this. We seem to always need

Regularly I get questions about the flow when a user is getting external access and the relationship between the Unified Access Gateways, load balancers and the Connection servers. Especially because we sometimes need to deviate from the VMware Reference Architecture. This deviation could generate an error on the connection server. Most engineers cannot stand an error... they just want to eliminate it! (And of course, I praise them for it!) NuBut like many things in life, som

First of all happy new year everyone! On 31 december 2022 New Years Eve I got a message from a colleague of mine while eating "oliebollen" with the family at friends of ours. One customer is having issues with external login's to their VMware Horizon environment. They get stuck on the Imprivata login screen. Alltough the user can login by re-entering their credentials it is annoying. The fact Imprivata selected the default domain to be the local machine and the user has to sw

Buffer Overflow: [a] condition at an interface under which more input can be placed into a buffer or data holding area than the capacity allocated, With al little creativity and bending we also see this in a VDI environment, I name this a User Overflow: [a] condition at an environment under which more users try to be placed into a pool than the capacity allocated, Of course with VMware Horizon you can make the pools dynamic in size but you will be limited by the available har

Found this script i created when building the lab in my archives... perhaps it will help someone.

Well... its not a secret anymore that I like Grafana and the prebuild appliance Sexigraf. One of my favourite dashboards is VMware VM/ VMware All Cluster Top N VM stats. Altough this dashboard gives me a lot of usefull data it only shows me the hypervisor layer. As an EUC consultant one of the things I always wonder... how are these numbers relating to the number of session at that specific time window.. like CPU ready, memory etc etc.... What if... I can capture the session

Last week I was exposing my VMware Horizon environment externally. Of course I wanted the single sign on experience. So enrolled the Workspace One Access tennant, deployed the sync server.. configured directory sync, authentication rules, next Virtual Apps etc . On the connector SAML to required, configured SAML authenticator to Access, connector in Workspace One mode, deployed enrollment server, created TrueSSO template, configured TrueSSO, deployed UAGS etc etc and let the
