[THIN] Re: Question on RDP and clients

 

One way that has worked successfully is to publish the RDP desktop via PS/WI. You can publish a generic mstsc.exe to everyon, a specific desktop instance to each user, or, even script it from a table so that it launches intelligently for each separate user point to their own desktop machine. You have a double hop of RDP over ICA, but the security and easy of management are well worth it.

Subject: [THIN] Question on RDP and clients

 

We’ve got a Citrix web interface and secure gateway on PS 4.0. What we’d like to do and have been experimenting with is RDP connections from a user’s home PC for example to their desktop at work. The concept works, however, security wise the client has to be configured to only allow that particular user to access their specific desktop. A handful of users have successfully done this, however the caveat here is that each client has to be touched. Curious if anyone has deployed something like this on a larger scale and how they’ve overcome the administrative overhead.
