Virtual Engine Toolkit

The Virtual Engine Toolkit (VET) is a collection of tools for managing the various components of a user’s Workspace. No matter what your User Environment Management (UEM) tool of choice or desktop delivery mechanism, the Virtual Engine Toolkit can help.

Customers can use the toolkit with AppSense’s Environment Manager, RES Software’s Workspace Manager or even without a UEM tool, i.e. vanilla Microsoft Remote Desktop Services and Mandatory profiles.

VET contains tools that are both generic to any UEM and ones that are specially designed to assist with any RES Workspace Manager implementation. For example, the newly introduced Profile Update Utility makes a welcome addition to VET and allows an administrator to update Windows Default and/or Mandatory profiles with ease. Version 1.1 allows administrators to make ad-hoc changes to the contents of .REG files directly from the GUI.

Did we forget to mention it’s free too!? For a brief overviw to what is new in the v1.1 release, check out this video on our YouTube channel.

Toolkit Highlights
