[THIN] Re: Published Desktop - Application Delivery

i'll second this.  I nice clean controlled desktop that is completly blank.  Then use the pnagent to drop in the applications.  It even does high color icons these days.

you can even go as far as to publish shortcuts as content which makes managing the apps even easier as you don't have to touch each application when you add a new server.

The PNAgent ways is the easiest…  The other tools were built in the days when PNAgent did work so well.

Subject: [THIN] Published Desktop - Application Delivery

 

Greetings

1stly, appreciate the knowledge here, great resource & in great spirit.

 

Perhaps bit of a newbie type of question, but looking to build my first farm windows 2008, Xenapp5 on Xenserver (have had experience with 4.5 etc)

Customer wants a published desktop environment which leads me to ask advice on application shortcut delivery within the published desktop.

The apps are pretty standard & I was thinking of using the PNAgent for simplicity & balancing but have also read up on using scripts to nuke start menu's & copy shortcuts to locally installed apps, and/or redirecting & using permissions on folders for read/execute etc.

 

Any advice appreciated

Rgds

Mark
