Hi All

I am wanting to do some location based network printing and wanted to see how everyone else is doing this with Xeniths and XenDesktop.

I am thinking of using Citrix Session Printer Policies assigned to the Xenith hostname – is anyone else doing this?

Obviously I could also do it via mac.ini and autocreation but looking at a couple thousand devices would like something that easy to manage for the support guys.

We use the client name as well. We also use Appsense which can take the client name and map printers specifically for that device. Our client name also is descriptive of where the terminal is located physically. ex. 8NPIT-001 would be 8th floor, north, in our Pittsburgh Office, teminal 001.

Thanks for the reply Sarjent.

Now have this up and running with Session Printers and working well. We also have Appsense but only App Manager implemented at this time. Thanks for the heads up.

Greetings! My name is Jim Lathan, and I am a nerd, Diginerd is what my friends know me as. I have been with Dell about 20 years serving in many roles; mostly Systems Engineer. My history with Wyse starts years before the Dell acquisition. Before the purchase of Wyse, I and a hand full of system engineers guided dell to desktop virtualization leading to Dell developing its first Thin Client. Having kickstarted the VDI strategy I moved to the Client Product Group where I co-launched Dells VDI-in-a-box and participated in the vetting of the thin client industry which led to Dell purchasing Wyse. Once the acquisition was completed, I moved back into a systems engineer role to help educate and promote the new Dell / Wyse solutions. Years later, I have been active in providing feedback and new product evaluations for Wyse and other VDI related solutions. I am also continuing to educate myself and build experiences with Citrix, VMware, Microsoft, and cloud-based solutions. So, what makes me a Diginerd? My other technical passions is Raspberry Pi’s, 3D printers, laser cutters, Ham radio, and I love to learn about technologies big and small, old and new. My hobbies include renovating Commodore 64s, old school electronics and learning Linux. I also enjoy camping and being with my family. I want to finish by thanking Thomas for a tremendous job of building Techincalhelp. I pledge to you all that I will give it my all and do my best to fill his shoes.
