I have been down this path before. It is not worth monkeying with appsrv.ini
and pn.ini if you can avoid it. Web Interface and PnAgent

are the way to go if you can. You can install Web Interface on a
Presentation Server box or Web server that has IIS. It has a very small

footprint. Even if you do not want a Web Interface site, it is worthwhile to
use for a PnAgent site to populate icons and shortcuts.

sorry to revisit this again but I wont be able to use PNagent as It would
need a web interface to populate the icons as I recall,

 

I can set the published app up on a pre user bases but what I would like to
be able to do is just copy the pn.ini , the appsrv.ini and the uistate.ini
as these are the ones were I see the changes that seem to apply.

 

the part that is killing me here is the three hidden files that relate to
the shortcut for the published app. Where the target is "C:\Program
Files\Citrix\ICA Client\pn.exe"  /APP "E I S" /PNI "kf4gs4n5" and the
kf4gs4n5 relates to the hidden files with the shortcut being a different
random number.

 

When I try to use the same shortcut it fails, is this even possible when it
created in a users profile is it linked there some way.

Yes, and you can merge multiple farms together as a bonus. This will also
allow you to manage the ICONs on the Desktop of you existing farm.

You will want to use PNAgent to manage the shortcuts and not PN.

Hi ,

 

Need to connect to a published app in head office in a 4.5 farm, I have all
this running fine on the server if I create the application set and the run
the published app it runs fine

 

My question is how do I make this available to our clients from within their
desktops?

 

When I copy the shortcut the application set is unavailable, I have tried
using the same PN.ini file but still no difference as I see all the settings
is in this file.

 

thanks

Ronnie
