Huh? 3 weeks??
I've run with "hardened" Citrix servers since early '98, and have never
needed to open anything up on the servers local drives or HKLM (ie the users
only get read-only access to both HKLM and terminal servers hard drives).
Admittedly, the apps I have to deploy, now, are basically Office, browser
(although I deal with / pre-empt ActiveX and Java usage for a LOB app),
Oracle network client, Project, and help-desk type application.
But I did used to have to deploy more challenging apps like Business
Objects, and Oracle's JInitiator.
I've never had to worry about users installing apps on servers - because
they have no means of writing to them.
