As I've started to find test users to replace the workstation under their desk with a Sunray 2FS desktop unit, I'm finding most of them have either a PS2 mouse or keyboard or both.
I would say the vast majority of us have black colored HP keyboards Model 9109/M-UV96 optical mice How are you guys handling this - just buying new USB keyboards and mice? or adapters from some palce? Ideally I'm thinking of just having folks log off over a weekend, running some cleanup scripts, migrate the physical desktop to a VM, replace the physical desktop with a DTU, log in and run the hardware detection and possible reboots needed after the VM conversion but retaining the users monitors, keybord, and mouse. Then the userscome in on Monday - log in and do their work without even knowing they no longer have a workstation under their desktop.

Using the kiosk_demo http://blogs.sun.com/mplona/entry/customized_sun_ray_kiosk_sessions We've configured one desktop unit to connect using the windows connector directly to the user's old workstation (running winXP Pro) - which we secretly moved to another floor in the building - but on the same network. So far so good - but there were two things he noticed. When connected the old way - like this Monitor1 Monitor2 workstation The date/time from the windows taskbar only extended to the left monitor - Monitor1 But when connected with the DTU - like this Monitor1 Monitor2 DTU-2FS | Network | SunRay Server | Network | workstation The date/time from the windows taskbar extends all the way to the right monitor - Monitor2 Is this a product of RDP or somehow configurable with the Sunray? Also, Any advice on settings to give the best experience to the end user when connecting via RDP? I really want to see this turn into a bigger project. Finally, the user pointed out the windows login screen is smack dab in the middle of the two monitors - half on monitor1 - half on monitor2 Monitor1 Monitor2 Login Luckily we can move the login window to either monitor (not like the Unix login) - but windows does not seem to remember my last position. Any advice on a way to have the login window only appear on the primary monitor?
