First, we are running W2K/MFXP FR3 and most users connect to a published
desktop. We also use published applications. Basically we follow an 80/20 rule,
meaning if 80% of the users run an application it gets installed on the
published desktop server, if 20% or less use it we install it on a published
application server.
My issue is that once in the published desktop users have access to PN using
ICA passthrough, from which they can access their published applications. The
problem is that they can also access their published desktops. Our users are
not the most savvy, so we have a lot of cases were they connect to their
published desktop multiple times, one inside the other.
What I would like to do is either:
1) Restrict their ability to launch the published desktop from the published
desktop servers.
>or<
2) Create ICA files on the published desktop servers and provide access to the
published apps that way. The problem here has been trying to get the ICA file
to use pass-through authentication. From what I understand you can't do the
pass-through authentication within an ICA file?
Is there a good way to implement either solution or is there another
alternative I haven't cosidered.
Thanks in advance,
