Recently ran into a problem where any Citrix application i ran from home, remotely connecting to the office via Citrix, would hang. The app would load, but then sit there 'Not Responding'.
Solution - stop the Print Spooler service. Not great if you want to pront, but has solved my problem for now. WIll update if i find a full solution.

VMware Virtual Machine does not sysprep properly
Finding information from this log:
c:\windows\temp\guestcust.log i discovered the following errors:
Rpci: Sending request='deployPkg.update.state 4 101 C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\vmware-imc\guestcust.log@The system cannot find the file specified.
'
Rpci: Sent request='deployPkg.update.state 4 101 C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\vmware-imc\guestcust.log@The system cannot find the file specified.
', reply='', len=0, status=1
...which was stopping me being able to 'Deploy Virtual Machine from Template'.
To resolve this I uninstalled the Altiris Endpoint client.

Windows 2008 Cluster loses one node of cluster
Setup in this instance:
2 x IBM x3650 bother containing the following:
2 x Emulex FC Cards
4 x Broadcom NetExtreme II 5709C NICs
2 x Broadcom NetExtreme II 5708C NICs
Issue - building a Windows 2008 Enterprise x64 cluster containing just a Quorum and a test service/applciation, one node would intermittently fail, reporting it lost connection with the quorum
Cause - Trend Micro OfficeScan 10 and SP1 - TDI Driver
Resolution - Disable Startup of TDI driver via the following steps:
Open Device Manager
Select View > Show Hidden Devices
Expand Non-Plug and play devices
Select Trend Micro TDI Driver > Properties
Go to Driver tab
Under Current Status press the stop button (this may or may not work, if not, do next step and reboot both nodes)
Under Startup change the type to Disabled (Uninstalling the driver didn't work, because it was installed automatically at the next boot.)
Do the same on both nodes and reboot.
This has also been discovered to be the case in Trend Office Scan v8 SP1 as per folloing blog:
