I think the Tricerat solution has a bit of a different orientation than = the other options. Also, there are two different products that may being = mixed in this discussion. The Tricerat LockDown takes over the user shell and only permits objects on the Start Menu and desktop that the admin adds. = It also can actively seek out and kill any applications you have not = approved to be run. Simplify Profiles keeps a database of registry entries that should apply to user sessions and therefore allows you to use mandatory profiles, but then customize settings. It provides a GUI to many common settings so that scripting and registry knowledge is not reuqired to configure and maintain the settings. I personally feel that this is a better approach because the ability to maintain the solution is not based on one person's scripting knowledge = and approach. But of course each situation is different and must be looked = at uniquely... Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

Flex Profile Kit V3 or Citrix Hybrid o r TriCerat simp lified profiles I quite like the sound of 'free', but there would be rumblings about ownership of responsibility, i.e. no manufacturer behind the Profile = Kit... the usual bugbear I guess.. There is budget for consulting and cost per server, however if they all achieve roughly the same thing I would obviously tend towards the free stuff. regards, Brian -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jim Kenzig http://thin.net Sent: 04 May 2004 13:49 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: easy one...
