1 remote App-site for several different backend terminal servers (2008/2003)
Hi,
We have about 10 terminal servers which have all different functions. Users use to connect directly to the terminal server to get access (Windows 2008/2003).
I personally think this is a waste of energy since users should connect to 1 central site/only remember 1 url to connect to, then the icons of access they need should be there.
This central site can be a vm or 2 vm's behind a loadbalancer (similar to Citrix).
=> The only thing is that I don't know if it is feasable with Windows 2008/2003: can you create a central remote app-site (f.e. http://remoteapp.oursite.com) which shows the different terminal server sessions AND/OR icons of apps (f.e. 3 servers with office for 1 team, 3 terminal server with company application only for other team operating from India etc)?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Thanks! But there 's mentioned:
If your deployment requirements are:
* Publish only RemoteApp programs from multiple RD Session Host servers.
* Don’t publish personal virtual desktops or virtual desktop pools.
I need to publish specifcally rdp accesses ... is this is what is meant by "personal virtual desktops"?

No - personal virtual desktops are basically VDI.
In the web access gateway there's a remote desktops tab (going from memory here, sorry) and you can publish these from any server.
They don't (or at least never used to) show on the main applications page so you may have a bit of a learning curve there for the users.

So I get zero points for assisting you and providing you with detailed information.
Not even an assist? Even though it should rightly be the other way around?
