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.

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) ------Original Message------ From: Ben Scott To: NT System Admin Issues ReplyTo: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Offline/online detection Sent: 15 Aug 2012 22:29 On Wed, Aug 15, 2012 at 2:25 PM, Rankin, James R <[email protected]> wrote: > What's the best way to detect whether a user is offline or online (I.e. > Connected to the corporate network)? I suspect we need more context. What are you trying to accomplish? What's the end goal?
