TERMINAL SERVER WEB ACCESS
The .RDP and .RAP.MSI methods for deploying icons to clients??™ desktops to access remote
programs are good choices, especially if you want to provide access to these programs in
a transparent and seamless method. You can also provide access through a Web site using
TS Web Access. You can think of TS Web Access as a portal into your remote programs.
You can either use the standard default Web page included with TS Web Access or reuse
the Web part into your own portal such as Microsoft Windows Sharepoint Services.
TS Web Access is a role service that can be installed onto a Windows Server 2008 server.
It can be a terminal server, but it doesn??™t have to be. In fact, if you are configuring TS Web
Access so that your users can access remote programs over the Internet, you can use a
plain Windows Server 2008 server as your TS Web Access server and configure it to use
your TS Gateway to provide secure and easy access. By default, TS Web Access uses Active
Directory as its source of remote programs. It does this by making available a RAP
MSI file you have published to the user through a GPO. You can also configure TS Web
Access to pull its list of remote programs directly from one of your terminal servers.
