[Thinstation-general] Thinstation and published applications vs desktop

[Dejan M. <dej...@ca...>]

Hi,

We would like to give our users (with old PC) a simple desktop acces to a metaframe. In our farm, we
have already users that use Wyse to connect to their session. In that way, we tried to recycle the
old PC into something wyse like with Thinstation.
When we use Wyse, we connect to a published desktop witch is load balanced into our farm and it
works fine.

I've try toi reproduce the same thing with the bootable thinstation CD without success.
I can't log onto a server witch have a load balanced published desktop (instead of application).
A desktop connexion works only if I specify a direct connexion to a server (but I loose the load
balancig functionnality).
I could bypass this if I publish a new load balanced application witch launch the explorer.exe
process. In that case it opens a desktop but it's less "elegant".

So here is my 2 questions:

1/ Is it possible to connect to a load balanced application that publish desktop?
2/ Is it possible to define the backup browser into the configuration file.

Here is my user preference file:

# --- Network configuration

# Give a different name to each PC
NET_HOSTNAME=test
