Published desktops are actually harder to troubleshoot, because the users always find a way to change their settings on things. With a published app, you maintain much greator control over their application environment, so you can expect more predictable application behavior. You can still allow desktop access for IT and "power users", for when it's necessary to do something unusual, like troubleshooting or whatever. Using the desktop is the exception rather than the rule. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kevin Droz Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 10:00 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Published Desktop vs Published Apps We use published apps. It depends on your sitiuation to which one is better. We just use it for our ERP because we only maintain 2 servers instead of 50+ clients. Thanks, Kevin. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of jgates@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 11:16 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Published Desktop vs Published Apps Just curious who's using what. We're trying to decide which way to go. The only downside I can see to the published apps is troubleshooting. Thanks, Jobe
