Bad idea....Streaming media will likely kill your servers...to prove this point, try publishing Microsoft Pinball and see how well it runs and watch your Performance Monitor. _____ Brian Claus, MCP, Network+, A+ Network Administrator WESCO Distribution, Inc. 225 West Station Square Drive, Suite 700 Pittsburgh, PA 15219-1122 Phone: 412-454-2412 Fax: 412-454-2540 <mailto:bclaus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> bclaus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _____ -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Joanne Determann Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2004 10:43 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] making Media Player availible I have a video of our commercial that runs in the US. Boss wants us Canucks to see it. We run a published desktop. I only want Media Player to be available on certain Thin Clients (the have their own GPO) I looked at GPO and it looks like the only have options to lock down rather than make unavailable. Any idea? Right now I can run Media Player as I published app on my publish desktop and just launch the link to the video and Media Player runs. The link needs to be on our intranet so the Fats can get to it.
