How to make TS Web Access Remote Desktop Web Connection work over TS Gateway
Tuesday, 07 October 2008 by Michel Roth
The Remote Desktop connection Web Connection used to be a (popular) option to provide access to Terminal Servers in Windows 2003.With Windows Server 2008 and it’s new TS features this can be utilized in more professional fashion by making TS Web Access Remote Desktop Web Connection work over TS Gateway. Just to recap: Terminal Services Web Access (TS Web Access) is a TS role service in the Windows Server 2008 operating system that enables users to access RemoteApp programs or the full terminal server desktop from a Web site.

By default, the TS Web Access Web site enables you to point to a single terminal server or to a single terminal server farm to populate the list of RemoteApp programs that appear on the site. If you have multiple terminal servers or multiple terminal server farms, you could even use Windows SharePoint Services to create a single Web access point for RemoteApp programs and/or full terminal server desktop connections that are available on different terminal servers.

After you install TS Web Access, you can specify (on the Configuration tab) from which terminal server you want to populate the Web Part. Any RemoteApp programs on the specified terminal server that are configured to show in TS Web Access will appear in the Web Part. Because the Web server can populate the list from an external data source, the TS Web Access server does not have to be a terminal server, but could be running on a dedicated (virtualized) webserver.
