in the CMC for the published desktop, make sure the Program Neighborhood =
Settings tab has the Application Shortcut placement empty.

There is also a setting somewhere to tell the PN agent to only use the =
program neighborhood settings.

So I have been playing around with this. And it works great!

I have a question. Since we are publishing a desktop, then using PN =
Agent,
like you are. How did you keep the 'desktop' off the start menu? I'm =
afraid
users will want to click that and it launches another desktop session =
within
a desktop session.

This is good stuff.

Yes.  I redirect some of the user shell folders to the home directory.  =
=3D
Temp internet files to c:\temp, favorites to h:\favorites, cookies to =
=3D
h:\Cookies, Application Data to h:\Application Data.  I redirect "my =3D
documents" through GPO.  Then the desktop folder in the roaming profile =
=3D
has two icons in it which are common to everyone and I put a shortcut to =
=3D
the pnagent in their Start Menu\Programs\startup folder.  they log on =
=3D and
get the base desktop, then the pnagent starts and fills in the =3D =
desktop and
start menu icons.

for the published apps I created a group in AD for each one and gave =3D =
that
group permission to the corresponding app.  Then whenever a user =3D =
needs an
app, they just need to be added to the group in AD.  This is a =3D =
little
convoluted but I have people here who can handle adding people to =3D =
groups
in AD but I don't want them anywhere near the CMC.

I did all this when we went to 2003 Server.  We were going to deploy =3D
everything through the Web interface but it was too severe a shift from =
=3D
the desktop for our users to handle.

Greg,

How do you do this? Do you currently use folder/shell redirection? This =
=3D is
exactly what I want to do.

works great.  we do this here but we publish a full desktop with nothing =
=3D
=3D3D on it and the use the program neighborhood agent to drop in the =
icons.
=3D =3D3D The users get the same experience on their end and I get the =
benefits
of =3D =3D3D published apps on mine.  There is no extra licensing hit.  =
If the
app is =3D =3D3D published on the same server providing the desktop, it =
launches
form =3D3D there, otherwise it will bounce to whatever server it needs.

Hi Gang,
=3D3D20
We publish full desktop's here - but with are growing list of diverse
applications its becoming hard to maintain the same on all the servers. =
=3D
=3D3D20 What I'd like to do is use web interface and create published =
apps
this =3D =3D3D way, this way the user can web over and launch a seamless =
app.
=3D3D20 Is =3D this bad because of ica within an ica session? One draw =
back I
see is using another connection license.. gets $$$ =3D3D20 Thoughts? =
=3D3D20
Thanks. =3D =3D3D20 Jesse
