Marty,
I have an app called sessionid (below) that lets an "instructor" run it to find
out their session ID, then I have students launching a "shadow instructor"
application, they input the session ID that the instructor finds through the
sessionid app and then the students all connect to the instructor. I just
configured the built in Shadowing policy in XPe and assigned the groups that I
wanted to give access to.
The instructor launches sessionid from a published desktop, then I have the
instructor launch another citrix session from the desktop under their own
username to get all of the proper apps\permissions for each app.
Students launch the shadow instructor app and get connected to the instructor's
desktop, then they can see everything that the instructor opens.
I call wscript.exe and then a custom .vbs file. (pasted below) to get the
"shadow instructor" app working. ie: wscript.exe "F:\shadow.vbs"
SESSIONID.CMD
quser instructor
pause
SHADOW.VBS
Dim wshshell, v_server, v_session, run_string
'v_server = InputBox("Please enter the NUMBER of the CITRIX server hosting this
session: ", "Citrix Remote Hosting", "??")
v_session = InputBox("Please enter the Session ID of the host: ", "Citrix
Remote Hosting", "??")
run_string = "cshadow " & v_session & "
/server:servername_where_instructor_is_on_goes_here /mb"
'msgbox run_string
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wshShell.Run(run_string)
NOTE: The instructor launches a published desktop that is on a "TRAINING"
server every time...Make sure your student shadow sessions "shadow.vbs" are
forced to this same training server. MAX number of users shadowing the
instructor is 15-20, any more will cause a BSOD (Compaq DL360 with (2) 1 GB
processors and 2 GB RAM)
Hope that helps...

Subject: [THIN] Allow Shadowing to group of users
Can anyone explain to me how to setup a group of users and assign a policy to
allow them the rights to shadow others, AND what utility should they use?
