      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hopefully someone can help, I have a quick question.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can you assign thinapps by user groups defined in Active Directory? At the moment we are assigning by pool or individual users depending on their needs. I ask because we have come across a situation where a user has lost their vdi desktop and are re-assigned a new one with a totally different desktop name, unfortunutely they lose whatever thinapp is assigned to them unless it has been assigned by pool because it's been assigned to desktop and not a specific user.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;BR /&gt;Ross&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Create application security groups in your AD.&amp;nbsp; Example:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;ThinApp_AdobeReader&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;ThinApp_Office2010&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Create these security groups and when you build the package you add the groups when prompted for specific groups that can access this program.&amp;nbsp; Assign groups or users to the applications security groups that want to use it.&amp;nbsp; You can then use View's ThinApp repository (like you are doing now) and it will assign the package to a pool but only people in the security group can actually run it.&amp;nbsp; Another way to do it is run a script using ThinReg.exe and it will look at the security group and only give access to the program if the user is in the appropriate application security group.&amp;nbsp; It also will register the applications to the correct files on the virtual desktop.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Example of script:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;WSHShell.Exec("""%logonserver%\netlogon\thinreg.exe"" /q ""\\servername\thinapp repo\*.exe""")&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for both of the replies, both have explained how I can implement what I need to do, it's just unfortunute I need to stream it to the whole pool no matter what. I don't really need to restrict access but more make sure the people who do need the thinapped application have it no matter what vdi desktop they are assigned.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks again for the replies.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ross &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
