That sounds like a very good idea that I will try to do.  For some reason no matter what I do though I cannot get the PNAgent to login to the server.  The Program Neighborhood works, and the Web client works perfectly.  Just this PNAgent keeps saying it cannot connect to the URL.  I noticed a bunch of googler's having the same problem but so far I haven't found a solution to it.  The web interface is running on the same box as the presentation server.  I can't even get it to connect locally.  I can go to the Web Interface locally, but the PNAgent fails no matter where I install it.  Any ideas so I can finish trying your solution?

Thanks!

I am typing it in just like you have it there.  It still says it fails to connect to the server make sure the information is correct.  I do have my XML service running on port 8002 instead of 80 so maybe I have to somewhat alter the address to add the port number?

Thanks

I am being given the boot for the night but I will be picking up on this first thing tomorrow.  We are getting very close.  First a few things.

1.  You pointed out something important, I didn't even have a PNA site.  I didn't realise i had to create one.  Now I have one created and I set the XML service port to 8002.  It gets to a login screen but then fails to launch the application set request.  So I know we are close.  Probably some tweaking that I don't know about which maybe you can help me with.

2.  I checked and the XML port number is also 8002 on the farm setting/server.  Your idea is gonna work, i have faith in it.  Just gotta work out a few more minor things.

Thanks so much and hopefully you can continue to help!

Ok I am back at it.  Here is where things are and what options I have etc.

1.  First as a reminder, all applications that I have published work perfectly through program neighborhood and the web client.  It is just the PNAgent that is giving me problems.

2.  I created the site and can get to the point of a login but get the error "The remote server failed to execute the application Launch request".  After I click ok on this error immediately another one pops up that says, "Program Neighborhood Agent could not contact the server.  Please check your network connection".

3.  I checked all the permissions on the applications and also made sure every one of them has the create desktop shortcut box checked.

4.  I have basic encryption running on the entire farm at the moment.

5.  Here are the settings from my current PNAgent site:
a.  Under manage server farms (when i right click my PNAgent site) I have the name of my server, spelled exactly the way it is spelled (case etc).  I have the XML port set to 8002 which is exactly the same as the XML service port number set at my servers farm level setting.  Transport type is HTTP.
b.  If you click the advanced button I have enable content redirection checked as well as enable socket spooling.
c.  If i leave this window and right click the site again and choose "Manage Application Types" I have "REMOTE" checked.
d.  If you leave there, right click and choose "client side proxy" I  have it set to none.

6.  Now if you start right clicking the Config.xml located directly underneath your PNAgent site here are the settings I have:
a.  Configure authentication methods - Prompt user is selected for the time being.
b.  Under configure session options I have everything checked (it was by default and I haven't modified it at all).
c.  Under manage server settings I have - Allow user to modify server URL checked but nothing else.

That is all I can see for now and I hope is some type of help.  Again I get the login screen to prompt me but then I get the error mentioned above.

Thanks!

I cannot believe after all this time the one stupid mistake i made.  The answer is yes, i have had luck (just now) and what you told me to do did work.  Somehow, i fat fingered the XML port number entry for the site even though i swear i checked it 100000000000000 times.   At any rate, I have my whole setup going to 8080, NOT 8002 like i said earlier.  Somehow once i said 8002 to you here my mind permanently recorded that number in memory.  So when I seen 8002 on my site i thought yup, it's right....  duh.  The second I went in and changed my XML port number to 8080 on my PNAgent site, it all worked perfectly.  I can finally move on and start publishing some desktops!

Thanks so much for you help, I was really getting so irritated at this but I swore i checked it and I know it did, however my mind seen the 8002 and thought yup, thats correct.  The scary part was a few posts ago, i specifically told you i checked it and confirmed they matched.  That is the scary part.  Perhaps I need to see someone about split personality disorder lol!

Again thanks so much, time for me to start publishing some desktops!
