Tricky_Dicky Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 As the title suggests, can the sims client be run on users desktops as using XenApp? We are looking at moving to Sims and most of our SLT have iMacs now and it would be very useful if it could. Thanks
vikpaw Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Yes i'm sure there are a few people on here that do.
Max_Power Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 We use Xenapp here and SIMS works really well with it. Just publish the app as normal on citrix server and then thats pretty much it to be honest. We use it with Ipads for registration on trips and in PE etc. 1
Tricky_Dicky Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 That's great, thank you. Does anyone have any experience of running XenApp on Macs? I'm just wondering if it's possible to make the shortcut in the dock look like the actual application, if that makes sense? So Internet Explorer looks like ie to the user and they don't have to open multiple windows first.
imiddleton25 Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Since we did the latest Sims updates yesterday we can no loger profile SIMS.NET using Xenapp 6.5 it has a Microsoft.net 4 error. Tried profiling the .net installer as part of install but it fails. has anyone done this on latest SIMS
