If they are not in the group, they do not get the icon. And, if you add
them to the group while they are logged in, the icon will magically
appear without the need for them to log off and on again. The groups
will inherit properly to. I have a Sales group. All of them are going
to need Outlook. So I just add Sales to the Outlook group. I don't do
much of that because it could probably get messy but it beats opening
the CMC every time.

When using this method mentioned by Greg, does this prevent icons from
appearing on desktops of users not in those particular OUs? Or do they
still see all the icons, but just cannot launch them?=3D20

The only additional thing I do from that with all of mine is I create =
=3D
=3D3D groups in AD users and Domains for each application. In the
published app =3D3D setup, I set that group as the only one with
permission to the app.
From there, all I have to do is manage the users and they get the apps.
=3D3D I never have to open the CMC to add a user to the app. I just add =
=3D
them to =3D3D the group in AD Users and Domians. =3D3D3D20
The main reason I do this is that when we have a new employee, by =3D3D
copying another users groups they are ready to go quickly with all the
right =3D3D apps.

Hello All,=3D3D3D3D20
Recently someone posted about using the PN Agent on published desktops.
=3D3D =3D3D3D3D I just wanted to put out there that we are doing this on =
a =3D
new MF =3D3D3D =3D3D 3.0 =3D3D3D3D project and so far it is working =
extremely
=3D well. We have the PN =3D3D3D =3D3D agent autolaunch =3D3D3D3D at =
login, pass
through credential to the NFUSe server =3D3D and then populate the =
desktop
and =3D start menu with the users applications. We have found in =
=3D3D3D3D
initial =3D testing that the apps default to run on the =3D3D =3D3D3D =
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 =
=3D
=3D3D =3D3D3D =3D3D3D3D not want any client auto-create printers to be =
in use
we avoided any =3D3D issues =3D3D3D3D that could arise trying to pass
through printing assignments.
Any comments or feedback are appreciation, I could see this becoming the
=3D3D =3D3D3D3D new preferred method for customizing the desktop since =
it is
=3D so =3D3D3D =3D3D simple and inherently integrated in published app
setup...
