Hi Joe,
I think you are doing the right thing, or at least you're doing as I
would. ;) Use it where you can, VDI when you must. Back to the
front-end piece, Oracle VDI makes for a great front-end to WTS/RDS and
it solves issue about providing the credentials as part of the initial
connection. You can assign the users you want to the pool that is
really just a WTS/RDS farm.

I would much prefer to continue using terminal servers. However, unlike your
homogeneous user group, my diverse user base of medical researchers relies on
mission critical, niche applications whose vendors simply won't support their
products running on terminal server. Further, there are no alternate suppliers
for these applications.
So, if we want to spread the security and support advantages of Sun Rays to a
wider swath of our user population, we must provide individual virtual WIndows
instances.
It might help to know that my university's license agreement with Microsoft means that
virtually all Microsoft products are "free" to my department. This greatly
alters the value equation. Much of what we can do in this environment doesn't make
economic sense if one must pay commercial pricing for the required Microsoft components.

A little off topic.. But I'm using Windows Terminal Server for user desktops at
the moment. I did have a load of Windows 7 instances on VMWare which users
rdesktoped into but I thought that a little inefficient so I moved it all to
terminal services..
We're a secure NOC environment with about 30 people all pretty much running
exactly the same software at the same time.
Why would you choose individual desktop instances over a terminal service?
Just wondered!

Not alone it doesn't, but when I mentioned "you can specify that server
side" I meant the Microsoft Server Side.
