We have thin clients in some labs and have a specific virtual desktop load specific for that lab. The issue; students do NOT have to log into the network and we want to change this.
Our issue:
We have 10 licenses for an application in a lab. The virtual desktop has this application for 10 computers within the specific lab.
If we have students log onto the network, they will have to option of selecting which virtual desktop to open (multiple courses taken by the student, multiple labs = multiple virtual desktops)
--
If a student logs in from the library, they will see all the virtual desktops as well and could use one of the 10 mentioned above, thus using up one of the virtual desktop application licenses.
This leaves one student in the lab not able to connect.
Question:
Is there a way to either limit what the student can select based on location/IP address or is there another way to make sure that virtual desktop is only used within that lab?
I have been told that virtual desktops are user based and therefore cannot be altered in this way...so, checking here.
TIA,
