I believe
the part
1 has helped you to understand more about the remote desktop installation.
Now let us see more about the detailed configuration of RDS.
1. Remote desktop web access configuration
This is
the user interface that the client will
interact with. In order to access this at first time you can Start->Administrative
tools->Remote desktop services->
Remote desktop web access configuration. It
will open the web page and when you login as an administrator user, there are
three tabs to look at namely RemoteApp programes,
Remote desktop and configuration.
RemoteApp programes- Here is where the users
can see and access their virtualized applications. These applications are
defined by RDS administrators.
Remote desktop- When you are accessing the
remote desktop service from outside your network, you may need to get the
services other than the virtual application. In this case you can remote into
other computers that are allowed though RDS and its data based on the Remote desktop resource authorization policy(RD RAP).
Configuration- Use these settings to specify
the source that provides the RemoteApp programs and desktops that are displayed
to users through RemoteApp and Desktop Connection. Users can access RemoteApp
and Desktop Connection through the Start menu on a computer that is running
Windows 7 or through the RD Web Access Web site. Note that this can be edited
only by administrator users.
2. RemoteApp manager
You can Open it from Start->Administrative tools->Remote desktop services-> Remote desktop web access configuration. Initial
stages of this will have some warning and error messages as below and this is
because we have not defined some settings and below steps will help you to
overcome those.
2.1.
Consider the Digital signature settings,
This warning message is because the SSL certificate is not defined and it can
be achieved by clicking Change-> Tick
the check box Sign with digital certificate->
Under digital certificate details click Change.
It will automatically list out the certificate that are installed on your
server's certificate, select the desired one and press OK. Once done click Apply->OK.
2.2. Distribution with RD web access- The warning
message is because the TS web access computer
list is empty. You can add the computers that are going to access the
applications remotely. If you have installed remote desktop service in an
active directory server you should add the computer group in Active directory users and computers. Open active directory users and computers-> From
the container Users and double click on TS web access computers->Members->Click on Add button and specify the
computers that are going to access remote desktop services. Click Apply->OK(If
remote desktop service(RDS) is installed on a member server you need to add the
computer details on the Local users and groups).
Now get back to the screen of remoteapp manager
and click refresh. Now you can see this
warning message also resolved.
2.3. You
can see the error The remoteapp program list is
empty, this is because you have not specified any of the application for
terminal server users. On the same window Remoteapp
manager, at the bottom right click on the space Remoteapp program and select Add
remoteapp program. Click Next on
welcome screen,
Select
the applications that are required to allow for users remotely and click Next.
Review
the programs list that are shared and click Finish
So here
we completed the configuration of remoteapp
manager and the window will be as below,
