The idea is to avoid any change to the existing mandatory profile, which is club-based and not unique to each user, and to attempt to maintain a high user count on our Citrix server. We currently run about 110 users per server with just IE as the published app. We start IE with a web page "portal" that has links to everything the different club users need (PS Time and Labor, web sites, web-based membership app, etc.). I suspect pushing a full Outlook client would diminish the number of users per server. It does appear though that this is not an issue when OWA is launched from the web page. It places the window focus in the foreground where it needs to be. Not sure why OWA behaves differently as a published app versus a web page launch, but it will definitely work for us the way we would deploy it anyway. Thanks for the help! rob ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joe Shonk Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 10:12 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: OWA over IE Pub App issues Why not just give the user the full outlook client?

For some reason, the first time I open any window (public folders, email message, etc.), it opens in the background. If I Alt-Tab to the open window or minimize and then maximize the main OWA browser window, then any new window that is opened will open in the foreground. If I don't do that, then every new window continues to open in the background. This, of course, will be unacceptable for user deployment. Anyone have any ideas how to prevent this issue? Note that IE is run as a published application on a Server 2003/MF XPe 1.0 farm. This does not occur if you launch from a desktop so I suspect OWS is looking for something related to the Explorer.exe shell and of course, it does not find it. Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! rob 24 Hour Fitness, Inc.
