They both have about the same overhead. With applications sets the user can see and access all applications on the farm that they have been granted permission. Created Custom ICA conenctions requires more labor because they must be created individually. An alternative is to push out a customized Program Neighborhood client with the ICA and application sets preconfigured. Also take into consideration the security concerns of creating customized ICA connections. -Mike Original Message: ----------------- From: Friese, Casey A.

There's not much overhead difference really. -----Original Message----- From: Bergman, Bryan L. [mailto:Bryan.Bergman@xxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2004 9:15 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Custom ICA Connection vs. Application Set Can anyone direct me to any information regarding the differences between connecting via ICA custom vs. connecting through an Application set? I guess I am looking as to why someone would choose one over the other. Also, what are the fundamental differences, such as performance, overhead (if any), etc. Thanks in advance.
