RE: Remote access options

I understand ... I used to work for the Federal Government ( CDC ) and
amazing what we could spend at budget time ... and amazing what little power
we had for unplanned incidentals ( learned to budget for things I never
wanted so I'd have the funds for critical expenditures when we *needed* them
)
 
Since I doubt anyone planned or budgeted for H1N1 flu, I'm guessing that
Citrix is too costly ...  and I don't know what's 'relative' to you  but
Citrix is over and above the cost of Terminal Server, it is NOT a cheap
implementation, even if the value returned is high

Realize that it is all relative, the cost of Citrix isn't that bad. We
deal with quite a few government agencies nationwide and I've been surprised
by the number of them that are using Citrix already. It's easier on them
because of the number of legacy systems they are using.

Agreed, but not an inexpensive solution to say the least ... and I'm
guessing that as a government agency, they no longer have an unlimited
budget

Yes it is that bad.  I work for a non-profit, and I'd need $600,000
support all users via Citrix.  That's money we just don't have.  I asked
my vendor and Citrix pretty much doesn't participate in pricing programs
like Microsoft does.  I guess Citrix needs that money for all the lavish
conferences it hosts.
 
Maybe those Fed fatcats can send some money my way.

IMHO, Citrix is a great answer for remote users in a contingency like
this. Roll out of new apps is pretty quick and you don’t have to go
worry about rolling out and app to a remote desktop.
