Yeah, even if they logged in with cached credentials, they may be connected to 
the network now. You basically need to just check the availability of the 
service you want to use before using it. I have no idea how to do that with 
XenApp, but that's where I would look. Even if the DC is ping-able doesn't mean 
the XenApp server is available.

I've got someone using a program and they want to alter its behaviour based on 
whether the user is connected to the corporate network or not - specifically, 
whether the apps they will be using are XenApp offline streamed apps or 
delivered via the online plugin. Basically, is there any way to programatically 
tell whether the user is linked to the corporate network or not (besides simply 
checking the IP address, which could be fallible dependent on the IP range of 
the network they may be connected to)

  I suspect we need more context.

  What are you trying to accomplish?  What's the end goal?  What problem are 
you trying to solve?
