Deploy Remote Desktop Connection (RDP) Internal and External
We have setup a new RDS Server on Server 2008 R2, and am looking to deploy internally to AD Computers with a pre-configured RDP file.
I have looked at RD Web Access and RemoteApp as a possible solution to secure Port 3389 to outside world, but also need to work out how our Mac OS X Users.
The thought was that we could make the same RDP file above or pre-configured on Mac OS X to Mac OS X Users, and also make a similar file available to External Windows Users. Internally we are using Group Policy to deploy RDP file to ALl Users Desktop.
Any suggestions on above?
I am also interested to know how to use RDPSign correctly - I have followed http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753982(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_examples but keep getting an error "Unable to use the certificate specified for signing"
I suppose also it would be good to know how I can lock the RDP file down so a User can not modify the options.

So connecting to <server>/rdweb from a Mac I am unable to use any RemoteApps or Remote Desktop. Message from Safari is:
And if I use Mac's Remote Desktop Client, I then have to open port 3389 - I would rather tighten up and use RDWeb over 443 but have a number of Mac Users who still can't connect. All postings I can see confirms that Mac OS is not supported as one of the fundamentals is the requirement of an ActiveX Control - which is not supported.
Looks like I am clearing out RD Web Access and TS Gateway from Server and sticking with Remote Desktop Connection Host :(
OS Version Not Supported
RD Web Access does not support this operating system. To see a list of supported operating systems, click here.
If you are running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, you can obtain the latest service pack from the Windows Update Web site.
If you upgrade to Windows XP SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP1, you must also install the Remote Desktop Connection 6.0 client update. You can learn about this update and download the installation package by visiting this website.

Sorry for delay on this one ..... there has been an issue outside of this topic which is delaying a test of this answer.
