In this chapter, we'll look at the technical components that shape the environment of your users' MetaFrame XP sessions. These include the elements that work together to ensure each user gets customized access to their environment and information.

  • User profiles.
  • Policies.
  • Home directories.
  • Logon scripts.

We'll end this chapter with a real world case study detailing the solution that a hospital network came up with for their users.

The key to success when creating MetaFrame XP environments is to create a balance between giving users total freedom to configure their environment and locking down a system to provide no ability to customize anything. This chapter analyzes the many ways that you can manage your user's environment.
