Craig: Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. We will work to implement this.
I really want to be able to stick with Sun Rays.

MS has millions (totally guessing, but let's just agree it's a big number) of users that do not have an RDP client that can make use of RDP 7.1 semantics. Besides the licensees of the RDP Spec, it would also include any MS RDC with a version lower than 6.1. (e.g. the one MS releases for Mac OSX can't use this feature either). So for all the clients that do not allow you supply the following rdp configuration settings: full address:s: workspace id:s: use redirection server name:i: loadbalanceinfo:s: alternate full address:s: You perform this work-around: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff646940%28v=ws.10%29.aspx Now, in order for this to work, you have to provide credentials before you see the Windows logon screen. So that's where the script that I mentioned, that you found, comes to play. But the same holds true for 2003 WNLB/SD and 2008 SB. We'll be making this part easier soon.
