I think it depends on what you want to do with the TS Server. I use Citrix (which TS needs to be installed on the server Citrix goes on), and Citrix is what manages and hosts my applications. Applications pretty much just install the same way - they don't have to be "specially" written or anything. Although, some programs may not work. I'm not sure if Adobe Standard or Pro works because of the licensing issues - can't create PDFs, or you couldn't a couple of years ago. Technically, you should have the # of licenses for the # of people that will be running apps off the server. For example, I believe when using MS Office, if you have 10 users logging into this server to use those apps, you'd need to purchase 10 licenses of Office to be properly licensed, but I could be wrong about that, but I don't think so. I'm not sure if that goes for other types of programs, you'd have to check with the Vendor and whether their programs are "compatible" or will "support" terminal services.
When I used to work at my old job, in most cases, when we'd implement an "application server" as we called it, we'd just have users remote in using RDP and use a full desktop - for remote users, people with thin clients, etc.
I normally purchase User CALs, but I think that is just going to depend on your current setting environment.
You can also use RDP icons to launch programs only rather than a full desktop. I guess I'm not sure if there is a way to display a list of apps to click on without using Citrix - I'm sure you'd need some sort of website and I don't know if that is available or not from MS - maybe with Server 2008? I don't know...

Hi all
Looking at setting up a Windows 2003 Terminal Services Server
I've had a quick google about and found the Microsoft pages on
installing the server / licences etc
However I cant seem to find much on installing applications on TS once
it is running
Do apps have to be specially written ?
How would you go about installing a non Office / standard sort of
application ? Does it look in certain directories for applications ?
How does it know which apps to show a remote client etc ?
Sorry if these are all obvious questions
Thanks
Andrew
