We've found a nice way to do this:

  • We published a special 'reset' application on a terminalserver.
  • Users have access to this application.
  • This application gets the current user that is logged in and searches the vWorkspace DB for the corresponding persistant machine.
  • Using powershell it resets the machine. The user can only reset his own machine.

Works great! Now they don't have to call the supportdesk if their machine crashed.

Nice.

Any chance of getting you to share it with the community. I could offer some good Australian beer or wine :-)

regards,

Rick

I'm affraid it's not possible to share this the way it works right now.
All kind of things are hardcoded, like paths and sql credentials.
It's really not that difficult. I could explain it here if interested.

However, I just saw another post that explains how to make a self service web interface. Might be interesting.
