Hello All,=20

Recently someone posted about using the PN Agent on published desktops. =
I
just wanted to put out there that we are doing this on a new MF 3.0 =
project
and so far it is working extremely well. We have the PN agent autolaunch =
at
login, pass through credential to the NFUSe server and then populate the
desktop and start menu with the users applications. We have found in =
initial
testing that the apps default to run on the same server as the desktop
session. Any apps that are only on certain servers obviously execut off
those servers.

As a result, we have a single interface for assinging applications and
setting up the desktop environment in one step. Since the client does =
not
want any client auto-create printers to be in use we avoided any issues =
that
could arise trying to pass through printing assignments.

Any comments or feedback are appreciation, I could see this becoming the =
new
preferred method for customizing the desktop since it is so simple and
inherently integrated in published app setup...
