securely locked down
• Allow/Deny Process list
– Example: Only allow notepad.exe nothing
else or allow everything except Notepad.exe
• Keep RDSH server clean and secure, allow the
published app to run and nothing else.
• Physical and persistent virtual compatible – keeps
desktops secure and clean to reducing
OPEX/maintenance.
• Includes clean-up service that cleans-up profiles in
SBC to avoid filling up disk space.
Trigger Points
• Reconnect Printers and default printer
