Cheers guys.

published apps we like as it's what the users are used to from just RDPing to a TS. At the moment some are using published apps, and I saw on 1 citrix server 1 user had 10 excel sessions, 1 email, and a few other things, so for him at least a published desktop would seem to be more sensible!

i think maybe what happened is that, the previous instructor/consultant was going by the book examples, and didn't realise we would have ppl using Citrix like they would a local PC, the newer consultant has seen what we do.

the thin client roll out is interesting. I don't think it will be a roll out for users as such, some ppl have PCs 3, 4, even 5 years old, which need replacing, so I think some management are hoping that they can buy a couple of good servers and that will stop the need to replace/upgrade lots of PC. We only found out about that idea today, so not sure if it is a serious consideration or if anyone has investigated thoroughly yet.

have used the citrix shadowing a couple of times to shadow an overseas user and was very impressed how responsive it was. We've been fans of vnc on our site for years, another site uses dameware.

Cheers
