hello all, maybe I don't quite understand yet what 2X is capable of (and what not) but I'm trying the following : when a user logs in, he starts a published program that reads a registrykey that is specific for that user. I noticed however that when another user logs in he gets the same key as the other user. That specific key is written under HKLM instead of HKCU .. I know on Citrix there is something like "Application Isolation Environments" to solve this kind of problem, can 2X handle this ? Thx in advance
No, 2X AppServer has nothing to do with the registry. Maybe you should evaluate SoftGrid (Microsoft Application Virtualization) which also isolates the registry and filesystem per sequenced application. It's a fairly cheap solution, low per user license costs.
Ok I installed Softgrid and played with it for a while but what i'm looking for is a solution that enables me to do this : Our homeworkers need to log in on a website where they see the programs they can use. They will be calling from their homes for us, Callcenter @ Home so to speak. Every user will have a softphone published and in that softphone we already configured the telephone line they will be using, this means that every user that logs in has a different telephone line configured. The problem is that the softphone writes this data to the registry under HKLM so that when I publish it on our Citrix server for example, this setting is used for ALL users. Now, I don't even want to use Citrix for this because its too expensive, anyone have an idea what alternative (that uses real virtual registry) can be a solution ?
Softgrid perfectly does what you want. When sequencing a application, it determines which registry keys are being added/modified. These will be isolated from the real registry, so you can have different HKLM per user for this specific application.
perfect ! I tried to install Altiris in the meantime but it always gave an error during installation so I'll focus on Softgrid from now on. bedankt he Jvandenbroek
