I meant the thin clients.  Some Thinclient manufactures give the TC OS
the ability to jion a Domain (depending on the OS biuld) if that is the
case you could query AD or set the Webpage to capture the Computername
then query AD for either OU or computer description and pass that

Are all of what? The users. Sure But ANON accounts are not in the
domain. ANON accounts access the terminal servers and are local accounts
to the boxes.

Not using NFuse in this instance. BUT even if we were the username
doesn't get me there since the app is based on the location of the PC
(ie floor, department etc) for printing and security with users that
room from client to client.

But that CTX article states a 7.0 client with an added reg entry on the
server will do what I need.

Have you tried changing the ClientName variable in the template.ica (or
VBS file) to use NFUSE_User instead of Nfuse_Clientxx

By default it seems that neither FR2 or FR3 does what I need them to do
in this case but I want to see if anyone else can confirm this or has a
workaround.

I have an app that requires the client name. We use it to configure
printers and application access within the app.

What we want to do....
Thin client (WinCE) launch a ANON connection (or non anon doesn't
matter) to a Published web browser in the farm. The web browser
auto-launches an NFuse page that also contains a number of static ICA
files.

>From this the user clicks the link to launch the app.

The client name I NEED is from the first session, the published IE
session. The clientname I get (when I connect to another Citrix server
to run the application) is the name of the MF server that my IE session
is running on.

Anyone seeing this same thing, maybe have a work around or idea....
