Best Practise for Published Desktops on Wyse in PS4

[tekskin]

Hi everyone - apologies in advance if this has already been covered, but I could not find it!

I am about to start working on an environment which heavily uses Wyse Terminals, and published desktops, and they want to go to PS4.

I am used to standard desktops and PN, so I would like to know if there are any best practise documents or advice available on doing this?

Would it best to use PN Agent within the published desktop, or have the apps available from the published desktop Start button (utilising PN)?

Which have you found to be the best (management-wise) and most efficient (resource-wise)

Cheers

Kevin

Which Wyse Terminals are they using as there are XP and Linux versions which will change the answer to this dramatically.

They are Wyse WT1200LE terminals.

Hi, there, as I know these are LE- Linux Edition.

Logically the best way should be:
1. publish Citrix Desktop on the Citrix Farm. (use load balance, personalized desktop, minimum rights, group policy, citrix policy, etc)
2. logon as admin to Wyse terminal, create user profile, restrict user profile just basic functions, add password to logon as admin.
3. create ica connection, find farm settings, find application set in farm, select Citrix Desktop, create desktop shortcut.
4. set this connection settings "citrix desktop" to run as wyse client boot up. logout admin, login back as user, test it

just at first... if you need more info, then let us know..and specify what part you need more speeky

Cheers

Thanks balage0.

In addition to this, once we have the users logging into the desktop, what would be the best way to present the applications available to the user, without putting all the icons on the desktop?

I am from the fat client/network neighbourhood side, and have little experience of the Wyse terminal side. When the desktop is presented to the user, do you still need a client within the desktop, or as we are already within the Citrix desktop environment, is it simply down to user group access, and whether to display icon on desktop or within start menu?
