We have a few users that have iphones. The semi-new ability for an iphone to connect to an Exchange account is great, but there is still a bit of missing functionality. I recently had an iphone user request that I find a way to sync his notes with his virtually-hosted exchange account. To do this the Apple way, we need to sync the notes over the cable to a computer that has itunes installed and has an Outlook profile with the Exchange account that we need to sync with.
There are many benefits to using virtual infrastructure; too many to count. With all of the benefits, however, come a few challenges that I had not expected before becoming accustomed to supporting users of this virtual environment.

In working towards this goal, we’ve come across a few hurtles that have taken some creativity to navigate.
VMWare View is widely recognized as one of the best applications for accessing a virtual computer. After testing and using View, I became a believer.
