NimbostratusApplication Tunnels
We have a fat client (executable) residing on a three servers behind F5. We want to publish this app on our webtop to clients in front of F5 with load balancing on the backend. When I did initial test defining an app tunnel with app resource using notepad.exe, when I select the webtop item, it launches notepad on the client, not the server. When I updated the app resource to launch an executable that does not reside on the client, it opens an explorer window on the client and never launches any app. Is my understanding of app tunnels skewed? Can I publish this app similar to apps running on Citrix app servers?
AppTunnels don't work quite that way, they just provide a TCP transport for existing apps on the client.
For app-publishing like Citrix where the app is executed on the server and the GUI is delivered to a client, you have to use something like MS RemoteApp or Citrix XenApp.

if that answer was the correct one for your question please flag it as such.
Baddogsettle_16Thank you for the clarification. That supports my finding from the testing I am doing.
