I think the enterprise version of SSL-Explorer can offer similar functionality. Staff without laptops can remote directly into their own desktop using SSL-Explorer. We also have a few shared desktops that multiple users can remote into, demand hasn't scaled to the point where we need a terminal server yet. Note: We put Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) on all desktop machines that we allow remote access to.

Do you have any laptop users who use the remote desktop stuff when they're away? Do you have a term server setup for them, or some extra desktops they connect to? That's my biggest issue right now.

We also have a few users that access internal web apps through SSL-Explorer, via the web redirection. All this is pretty simple to manage with multiple users because of the Active Directory Authentication and once a user is connected via remote desktop, they can access any application they need.

I love the product and use it almost daily to connect to my home (using remote desktop), but I've seen very few apps published to use through SSL-explorer. Just curious what others have used it for exactly. What apps have you shared through SSL-explorer?
