I'm not sure if you're looking at any third party apps, but RES
PowerFuse will give you similar control of the apps and will take care
of your stated requirements. If third party is out of the question then
just ignore the rest of this. ;)
Here's a screenshot of our environment if you're interested. Ours is
mixed and matched. Some apps launch in the same session, and some
isolated apps launch a new seamless session. Users can't tell the
difference and you don't have to worry about authenticating with PN to
get your new shortcuts.
Everything is deployed via groups. I created a group for each app, group
of printers, and department folder. When we have a new hire they are
simply added to the groups that correspond to the apps, printers, and
department folders required. Upon login PowerFuse will automatically
map those printers and drives, and create apps for the user.
We are using the PowerFuse shell, which you can see looks very similar
to an explorer shell, but is locked down without policies. Okay they are
there, but you don't have to make and maintain them.
Our thin clients are 100% Wyse 1200LEs and we love them! You can be
confident that as long as you are current on your firmware that the
video performance issue is not the fault of your 1200s.
Good luck,
R

Take a look at publishing full desktop with nothing in it. Then use the
program neighborhood agent with pass through authentication to populate
the
desktop and start menu. We've been running this way for over a year and
it
has worked great. All the power of published apps and the Web interface
and
the convenience of the desktop for the users with thin clients. We use
Neoware thin clients but the concept is the same with Wyse.
You can then even manage the applications by group membership. Make a
MSWord group and give it permission to the Word Published app. Them add
all
the users to that group and they get Word. Then you are managing all
your
users and applications in one place and don't have to fight the CMC
every
time you add a user.
