We used Citrix at a healthcare company I worked at around 2005. Basically everyone came in to an office, just to telecommute into our hosted servers that was in a city 30 minutes north of our office. It was a valid approach to better securing workstations.
I was doing a good bit if VFP9 at that time and there wasn't much (if anything) that I had to do to the application. I tended to make the buttons bigger because with the remote-aspect of running the app, the double+clicks didn't always "take". We called it "having to triple+click" ... or ... "click it like you mean it!" It had more to do with Windows and the nature of following the mouse movement from local to remote. They had portable profiles however. They didn't wipe the image as there were valid reasons that people would have customized desktops and customized software installations, even if the Windows was remote. This approach saved us on PC purchases as well. We could buy pretty minimal PCs as the real horsepower was in the Citrix VM'd PCs.

Any special configurations that have to be done? Any gotchas? A potential client of mine uses Citrix and is very happy with it. He said they basically wipe/replace the image daily. I guess that way they don't have to worry about viruses? If I were to develop a desktop app for them, I'd have to consider how to upgrade it easily. He said updating/creating the image is usually painful and takes a long time. tia, --Mike [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/f82db4de49440845a14b540f6c2df6a92eea8...@blufitspmbs01.cherokeega.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
