Extend SmartAccess Policies to ICA Sessions

From Jay Tomlin's blog comes a how-to extend smartAccess policies to ICA sessions.

"You probably have heard by now that Access Gateway includes an Endpoint Analysis feature (EPA), and that you can enable or disable access to resources based on the results of EPA scans. But one side of this story that I don't feel is told often or clearly enough is how Presentation Server can respond to the EPA scans by showing or hiding certain applications, or by enabling/disabling ICA virtual channels.

To translate this from brochure-speak into more tangible IT terms, let’s walk through the configuration steps that would be required for a real-world example: "When my users log into their Presentation Server applications, I want to disable some ICA virtual channels like client drive mapping, client clipboard mapping and client printer mapping if they are logging in from a workstation that does not have Symantec Antivirus installed with a pattern file from August 15, 2006 or later."
