in the past years using Xenapp 5/6 you could easily have only 1 big pool of virtual xenapp servers and then use this same server pool to publish multiple completely different published desktops like for instance "Desktop main screen" and then "Desktop second screen". Since they would by definition always launch different sessions on different servers end users that had a stuck session on a problem server using one of these desktop icons they could use the other desktop icon to help themselves and force a second completely different session guaranteed on another completely different server. This second option is necessary since clicking the same desktop icon will always send you back to the server where you already have a session active which is a problem in case that specific server or session has a problem.
I'm trying to achieve the same functionality using Virtuals apps 7 but apparently multiple different published desktops within a same delivery group 'desktop main screen" always seem to send you back to the same session on the same server which practically means that you would have to make a second and different delivery group "desktop second screen". However it also seems you cannot reuse the same server pool for a second different delivery group doubling the need for server resources which is not an option either.
Does anyone have a good current solution that meets the goal of giving end users back the option to force a new completely different session on a different server without the need for splitting your server pool and thus doubling the resource need ?
