Does 'remote administrator' give you some additional functionality? Is it
giving access to their 'desktop' in that its their actual pc - or do you
simply want to provide a desktop type environment, not necessarily their pc?
 
If it was 'i want to connect to a desktop environment' I'd be asking why not
use citrix directly - why can't you just have an ica client on their remote
pc? 
 
if it was 'i want to connect to my actual pc desktop' then you'd be looking
at using something like gotomypc or logmein

Subject: [THIN] Lanch app through environment tab using WI



Users approved for working from home use a tool called Remote Administrator
to get access to their desktop at work while at home.  These are non-Citrix
users.  Under 2000 TS, I'd specify the app to launch and connect to their
computer via the Environment tab.  This app would launch when they login to
the TS server.

With Citrix, and them hitting Citrix through WI only, what would be the
appropriate way to accomplish the same behavior?  Would I just publish a
regular desktop for the user and when it launches, the environment tab would
kick in?

When they close the remote tool, would the desktop session terminate and log
them out (this happens on 2000 TS), or would they be dumped to their Citrix
desktop?
