I worked with Citrix on an NT box a while ago. Citrix has quite a few
Management tools. You can customize the way a desktop appears when a remote
user connects to the server, and also you can also control which apps that
user can run. You can restrict access to the server's local drives as well
through these tools. Citrix also integrates pretty nicely with NT security,
so if you are using accounts form your network, whatever restrictions they
have to that server Citrix is running on will apply. One note: I had a real
hassle with getting Citrix to autocreate clients' printers within their
session. A way around this is to re-create the client printer object while
they are logged in. From that point on Citrix will be able to autocreate.
But you have to do that initially.
I loved Citrix. Good luck!

Hi Everyone,

I want to implement Citrix Terminal Services on a Windows NT server to allow
contractors to remotely connect to the server in order to retrieve and edit
certain data in a Java application. I also need very tight security and am

fairly new to Citrix. I have the same questions as Andrew:

1. Can I restrict access to certain drives (particularly C:) so that a user
may not interact with that drive?
2. Can I take icons such as My Computer, My Network Places from the desktop
as well as options such as "Run..." from the Start menu?
3. I don't want any user to be capable of accessing or deleting/editing
administrative tools, critical system files, etc.

Thanks,
