People have had mixed experiences with USB <-> PS/2 adapters. Some
people in Sun Ray Engineering have used and liked this one:

Others swear by more expensive units like this:

Unless your users are in love with the HID devices, it's far eaiser to
just get new USB keyboards.

As I've started to find test users to replace the workstation under

have
either a PS2 mouse or keyboard or both.
I would say the vast majority of us have black colored HP keyboards
Model 9109/M-UV96 optical mice
How are you guys handling this - just buying new USB keyboards and
mice?
or adapters from some palce?
Ideally I'm thinking of just having folks log off over a weekend,
running some cleanup scripts, migrate the physical desktop to a VM,
replace the physical desktop with a DTU, log in and run the hardware
detection and possible reboots needed after the VM conversion but
retaining the users monitors, keybord, and mouse. Then the userscome
in
on Monday - log in and do their work without even knowing they no
longer
have a workstation under their desktop.

Subject: Sunray 2FS - two monitor setup
My group is putting together a proof of concept - we have one sun ray
server and 10 desktop units (2fs)
We have setup the windows connector and have 5 Desktop units and a
bunch
of java cards configured to do different things. Using the kiosk_demo
http://blogs.sun.com/mplona/entry/customized_sun_ray_kiosk_sessions
We've configured one desktop unit to connect using the windows
connector
directly to the user's old workstation (running winXP Pro) - which we
secretly moved to another floor in the building - but on the same
network.
So far so good - but there were two things he noticed.
When connected the old way - like this
Monitor1 Monitor2
workstation
The date/time from the windows taskbar only extended to
the left monitor - Monitor1
But when connected with the DTU - like this
Monitor1 Monitor2
DTU-2FS
|
Network
|
SunRay Server
|
Network
|
workstation
The date/time from the windows taskbar extends all the way to the
right
monitor - Monitor2
Is this a product of RDP or somehow configurable with the Sunray?
Also, Any advice on settings to give the best experience to the end
user
when connecting via RDP? I really want to see this turn into a bigger
project.
Finally, the user pointed out the windows login screen is smack dab in
the middle of the two monitors - half on monitor1 - half on monitor2
Monitor1 Monitor2
Login
Luckily we can move the login window to either monitor (not like the
Unix login) - but windows does not seem to remember my last position.
Any advice on a way to have the login window only appear on the
primary
monitor?
Thanks
