[THIN] Re: Associate file type to an application on another server

what Joe said.  Yes it is server to server, but in this case, the originating server is acting as a client.

I wonder how it would behave if you packeaged it as a streaming app.

You will need to run PNAgent on your servers as it will be come the "client".  When PNAgent launches for the user, the appropriate file types will be registered so when the user clicks on a .prj file it is launched on the appropriate server.

Hi
 
I don't think this will work.  Our users do not have MS Project installed locally (outside of citrix).  Content redirection will redirect from server to client or client to server.  I want to redirect from server to server.  We have 1 Citrix server with MS Project installed (Server 1).  All users can launch Windows Explorer from any Citrix server in our farm.  If they try to open a MS Project file I want it to open from Server 1, not the server they are on as the server they are on doesn't have Project installed..
 
We also use Web Interface, not PNAgent.  Hope this makes more sense.

there is no project viewer.  Content redirection will do this if you are using the pnagent.

Hi Jim

Will use the viewer for Visio.  I also have the same issue with MS Project.  I couldn't find a MS Viewer for Project.  Do you know if one exists?

Thanks

Why not just install the Visio viewer on the other servers? Or do they need to modify the files? If you instruct users to open visio first then it should also open the clicked on file I believe.

The viewer is at

 

You may have to play around with content redirection a bit.

Hi

Is there a way to associate an extension (ie VSD) to an application on another server?  We have installed Visio on 1 Citrix server only so we can control who can access it via Published Applications.  The issue I have is some users try to launch Visio by double clicking a Visio file in Windows Explorer.  Windows Explorer cant associate the file to anything as Visio is not installed on the Citrix Servers (except one).  Is there a way for the file to open on the Citrix server that has Visio installed?

IM hoping I don't have to install Visio on all Citrix servers to get around this issue

Thanks
Angela
