Using TS Web Access With TS Web Access With SharePoint
Friday, 29 February 2008 by Michel Roth
The Windows Server 2008 TS Web Access feature is pretty basic. It only allows you to select TS Remote Apps from the server that you are on (or a single farm) and does not provide any tools to customize the interface. It does however provide something that took Citrix quite some time: Sharepoint Integration.

The TS Web Access Web page includes the TS Web Access Web Part, which can be incorporated into a customized Web page or a SharePoint Services site. So If you have multiple terminal servers or multiple terminal server farms, you can use  SharePoint Services to create a single Web access point for RemoteApp programs and full terminal server desktop connections that are available on different terminal servers. You can customize a Windows SharePoint Services site by adding multiple TS Web Access Web Parts, each pointing to a different terminal server or terminal server farm. 

So although I still think it is a shame that Microsoft removed the AD integration from TS Web Access , this (free) Sharepoint integration does provide you with some alternatives to provide somewhat more sophisticated Ts Web Access to your RemoteApps. Microsoft even has a Step-by-Step guide available for it (kudos to Jason Conger for mentioning this)
