[THIN] Re: Allow user to reset own connections + log

Hi Warren

Your tool sounds great.  Any chance you can incorporate some logging functionality.  It would be great if all resets are logged so us IT Admins know how often users are running into issues.

Also what functionality does TSSelfServReset have over Citrix Connection Manager?

Thanks
