I don't need anything that complicated. What I need is for some department managers to get into a users session and remote control it for a moment. Any ideas??? ----- Original Message ----- From: Claus, Brian To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 4:48 PM Subject: [THIN] Re: Allow Shadowing to group of users 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... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Claus, A+, Network+, MCP Network Administrator WESCO Distribution, Inc. 225 West Station Square Drive, Suite 700 Pittsburgh, PA 15219-1122 Phone: 412-454-2412 Fax: 412-454-2540 bclaus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----Original Message----- From: Marty [mailto:Marty@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 4:14 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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?
