I would ask you why you don't just let these users have laptops all the =
time
and take them off the Citrix server? Server Based Computing is only as =
good
as the active link, if they need to work off-line they probably =
shouldn't be
using Citrix!

Thanks so much for your help. This is what I was unfortunately afraid =
of.
It's funny how short-sited some execs can be.. It doesn't matter that =
Citrix
is a great solution for the entire company, but when it comes down to =
them
not being able to have offline mail, they ask "what did we buy this =
for?"
Anyways, thanks so much..
