We've made a little more progress and can now script adding/removing printers based on the client name as seen by windows which for Sun Rays is the mac address of the DTU. We now have a small utility that takes this from the WTS apis and can map relevant printers depending on the client, we want to be able to map in the correct printers depending on the location of the Sun Ray. The next problem that we've found is that this value appears to be set at the point of connecting to the view server so if a smart card is removed and put into a different DTU this value doesn't change unless the user does a full disconnect and then reconnect. At the moment we're forcing this by setting the timeout value for kiosk mode to 1 second so if the card is removed the session disconnects, this is quite kludgy though since putting the card back in results in having to re-spawn the login again which takes 15 or so seconds every time. Is there a better way to force this disconnect/reconnect with utaction if the location/DTU changes or is there some option that I'm missing?
