Windows Server 2008 now offers a new feature called TS Web Access, which allows organizations to provide a web-based front end to applications published in a terminal server environment. Other key new features include Terminal Services RemoteApp (formerly Windows®Remote Programs), which provides seamless published applications to end users, and Terminal Services Gateway, which provides secure access to RemoteApp applications over 128-bit SSL encryption similar to the Citrix Secure Gateway. Web-based access to published applications has long been a feature reserved for Citrix Presentation Server deployments or terminal server environments where other 3rd party add-ons were leveraged, such as those from Provision Networks, 2X or the like. This segment, part one, will focus on an overview of TS Web Access and the installation of the role. Part two will focus on configuration options in TS Web Access, requirements necessary for access, and ways to use TS Web Access to front-end an entire terminal server farm. Windows Server 2008 contains a plethora of new features associated with Terminal Server. A new key component is Terminal Services Web Access, a Citrix Web-Interface-like interface that provides web-based access to applications published via Terminal Services RemoteApp. This two-part article series will explore what this new feature means to terminal server deployments as well as how to set up and use Terminal Services Web Access.
