The goal of this article is to describe the test that we made with Lync 2013 on the Citrix Vdi platform. You will find below the Test condition (Material, software divers etc.) and all the tests performed
To be honest we just try 20/30 Minutes with 3 Lync users playing with video and sound activities and it works well! IN any case we will continue to test with more users. But we saw today that now LYNC VDI With Xendesktop 7 Works!
