A couple of questions I hope you don't mind answering for me.

1.       Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember reading that user based 
deployments do not work over the internet unless the external facing MP can 
access AD DS to authenticate the user. If that's true, consider this 
scenario... An application is deployed to a user who is currently in the 
office. He picks up the policy and the installation begins downloading but In 
the middle of the download, they shutdown, take their computer home, and boot 
up off the network and are now in "internet" mode. So in that situation, the 
policy has already been downloaded and the source download was interrupted in 
the middle so would it still need user authentication to continue the download? 
Would the download pick up where it left off by obtaining the source from the 
internet DP even though that DP cannot authenticate the user? Or would it stop 
until either a VPN connection was established or they returned to the office at 
which point the user can be authenticated again?



2.       There's no way to make an application run at logon, right? You can 
still do it with packages, or you could wrap the application, but no built-in 
method for applications is my understanding. I was trying to wrap my head 
around why that is. Does anyone know why that functionality was not added to 
the application model? Just curious...
