thanks Steve basically what your saying is to have all apps on allservers were possible and have the published Desktop on these server and use the desktop on thin clients etc.. and publish the apps to fat clients again this will use session sharing to only launch the login once. BUT if we have some applcaition that are processor or memory intence or a badly behaving app this app could then be in a silo. but the use of Silos has decreased with the use of session sharing in the newer versions of presentaion server. ________________________________ From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Greenberg Sent: 13 June 2007 13:51 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Publishing apps into a desktop Publishing apps/icons to the desktop with PNAgent is a great way to go. As far as siloing the desktop itself onto different servers than the apps, this usually isn't necessary. It certainly can and does work, but to have apps running on different servers than the desktop is not as nicely integrated as simply publishing the desktop and letting the apps run from the same machine/ session. This will happen by default with session sharing (make sure to match the settings for the published apps so they can share the session). We have made this separation in designs when there are known compatibility issues, or, for cases where the apps use massive resources. I wouldn't suggest it as a basic design unless something forces it. If you are looking at Flex profiles, this should overcome any issues or concerns that would prevent running the apps in the same session and machines as the desktop itself....

I am testing 4.5 at the moment, to move from xp to 4.5 currently we have a published deskktop were we copy icons into the start menu. In the new 4.5 with web interface and the pn agent I am publishing the apps to the desktop am I on the right track or is it still a viable option to just copy the shortcuts in ? One other one , I am looking at a couple of silos one for main apps office etc and one for other apps, should I have a server for publishing the desktop seperately as I am worried about profile issues. I was looking at using the varialbe name per silo in the progile path, but am going to look at flex over the next day or two as I am not sure this will fully cope with the shado key issue if a servers are rebuilt at different times.
