Citrix Access Essentials

Yet another project I'm being asked to do :/

Anyone got any experience with it, should I run into trouble?

How do I set whats users can see... just seems to offer them the Office suite out of the box, despite Office not being installed on the local machine?

ICA over RDP onto your desktop IIRC, see www.gotomypc.co.uk. Same technology, internally hosted.

My boss installed Office without telling me, fucker. Had me all confused

Yeah I've used gotomypc before

Utter shite. Put your hand in your pocket and get yourself XenApp. Sexiness and functionality (including remote access using Secure Gateway 3.1) FTW!

That does look pretty

But unfortunately if it can't be done on the cheap, then they won't sign it off

Just for you I pointed it at our main application farm:

And administration tools:

All of those accessible from anywhere in the world with an internet connection, including Windows Mobile devices and any other device that supports the Java platform...

Groovy

Our setup here is as powerful as a one legged man in an arse kicking contest

Roll on a new job, if there are any left, come the new year

Aye we're running Xenapp too - big big improvement on the UI.

Just building a new farm at present.

I think at most we're gonna have 20 remote users, the rest will use apps on their local PC's
