Finally a human describing the feature!  By your description it seems like PVD is the way to go for my small XD deployment (&lt;10 users).  What I haven&#039;t seen explained is two points:
1) How do you create the base image in Windows if you have an Active Directory requirement?  I assume each PVD appears unique on the network, so each would have its own AD account somehow.  Do you join the base image to AD?
2) Wouldn&#039;t patching the base Windows image invalidate the PVD overlay or does XD magically update pointers in the PVDs to understand the changes to the base image?
