[THIN] Re: Difference Citrix vs Terminal

Then you should look at the seamless published application feature of
Presentation Server, it allows you to have the end users run individuals
applications off the Citrix server while they appear to look and function as
though they are running locally on the remote desktop. This could not take
care of the human and technical issue at the same time, this feature is not
available in terminal services

We are using Terminal Server after we connect through a VPN connection. Is
that typical? I am asking as we have users who just refuse to use Terminal
Server and just want to use their own desktop with the VPN connected. It
drives us nuts as we push out applications through Terminal only and
intentionally avoid putting the apps on the machines, is that how it is
typically used? I struggle with the human side of getting people to want to
use it and I just wonder if it is me or just part of it. I think so much of
what we do is bring about the dirty "c" word, "change" and it creates
mini-wars. It gets old and I just want to be sure we are giving our people
"the best". I thought we were and that is why I am asking. I do not want
anyone to suffer, but to soar and have a user-friendly environment.

Citrix extends the functionality of terminal server in a big way.  Terminal
Server is the base model and Citrix is the super charger, leather seats,
navigation system etc.  You can run plain terminal services and be just
fine.  But adding Citrix on top of it really makes the environment sing.

Everyone,

Crazy question: What is the difference between Citrix and Terminal Server? I
know this will make you all roll your eyes, but a down and dirty, nutshell
of it is all I need. If there is a difference any more? The reason I ask is
that we had Citrix years ago and went to Terminal Server. Now they seem to
be one in the same?

Thanks,

Linda
