It is best to install the version of PNAgent that is included as part of the
Metaframe XP install.  This ensures the pass-through client installs
properly, and then you can upgrade it to the latest version from
www.citrix.com <http://www.citrix.com/> .  It is included as an option in
the ica32pkg.msi package.  You will also need to setup the Web Interface
portion of PNAgent.

It sounds like the best way to do this is using the PNAgent.  Can I run this
on Metaframe XP FR3?  Where can I download it?  Do you know of any good
documentation to get me started?  

 

Thanks Joe.

That's a lot of work, plus it's difficult to control what the user sees on
the start menu.   They can see IE, but not launch it.   PNAgent does a great
job on managing Desktop Icons for the user.  They only see what they need to
see.  You can even put them up on the Desktop and managed.

I do what you are talking about by redirecting the start menu to a share
with GPO. Then each item in the start menu has NTFS permissions that only
one app group has access to. So when a user logs on they only can click on
the app they have access to. Then you just drop them in the groups for each
app you want them to have access to.  Even Internet explorer they can't
access unless I drop them into the Internet explorer group.

Hello,

 

I am trying to find the best way to control which users have access to which
applications via the Published Desktop as I rebuild my Citrix farm.  I am
trying to use Group Policies to accomplish this, but need some
direction/advice.  Ideally I would have it setup by group, so that if a user
was in Group A, somehow I would give him access  to app A, B, and C via the
Published Desktop, and if another user was in Group B, I would give him
access to app D, E, and F, via the same desktop.  

 

How do you all currently handle this particular piece of administration?  

 

Thanks!
