One thing I forgot to mention, the most obvious solution of limiting the number
of instances of the published desktop the users can run to one doesn't work.
This is because some users need to be logged in from more than one client.

Subject: Accessing Published Applications From a Published Desktop
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,
