Best Practices for Student Labs. Kiosk Mode/Shared Generic Signon

What is the best practice for setting up student labs where the students will not authenticate(ie autologon) with Zero Clients?  Is it having an entire lab say 30 or so with each having  their own login configured in Kiosk mode or have all thin clients share a generic logonname on the thin client/Teradici Manager.  This is for non-persistant environment,  not keeping any data.

I am doing the same method; we are using AD and have kiosk security groups; we are using the systems MAC"s as logins and security groups to give image access.

You can set up to auto lunch the VMware Horiozn View that way; there isn't a best method it's whats going to work well. It sounds like you are on the right path to me

I don't know about the share generic login. Go with the MAC address generated logins it's a bit more secure and the password is hidden as you can just connect with devices mac over a share login
