    Hi Folks,

    So we have about 1,500 users between here and the UK. We used to just have PC's with GPO etc but then about 4 years ago I cam across a HP Thin Client the T5530. Altough it could not join the Domain it could using its Windows CE 5&6 get me a ica connection to our Citrix servers. We also upgraded to a bigger T series due to memory issues on them.

    On inspection I realised that the published applicatiosn where being run on the unit hence the bombing out. So Published Desktops started in my head.

    After setting up thousands of HP TC's using Altris and images I found a really old Wyse and started playing wih WNOS.ini and boots.

    Now this is a question with a sugestion.

    My suggestion is that the Wyse with ThinOS is far supperior to anything else, as now I can order on get it delivered to a site and let them plug it in and it is set up automaticaly thanks to the FTP and WNOS.ini files. This I am happy to answer questions on also.

    Now my Question,
    We have over 1,000 HP's with a mixture of CE and XPe. I have seen a Golbal.ini and Profile.ini wyse esk set up for them but only for the Linux HP boxes.

    Has anyone done the FTP route with CE, XPe before?

    Would love to knwo your thoughts.

    1Love

    i had a look at this few months ago !
    i found various sites that explain the procedures so well detailed !

    the issue that i had was that whole network needed to be changed from cat5 to cat6 at least ! you will need a good 1GB managed switches with QoS and traffic priority !

    i would love to get my hands on it...but i went in the final for HPs and Remote Desktop .
