Re: can TS be used for restricted access to 1 application

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Windows 2008 has a new feature called remoteapp that allows a remote
application from terminal services to run on the end point and it look slike
a normal desktop application.

All version of TS have the ability to run applications directly as a window
within a window. the application can be assigned per user account, by Group
Policy, and at the msts client level.

Hello all,

New to this group, but I've been a programmer (mainly small time
database stuff) for about 15 years.

I am wondering if it is possible to allow a remote connection to be
established to Windows Server, that is only permiited to run 1
application?

What I have is a client I am programming for and they do not want
thier clients to have to download any sort of component or anything in
order to run an application.

I was initially designing an ASP .NET 2.0 application, but it requires
the .NET download. I explained to my customer that this should not be
a major issue, since it is a Microsoft component that is quickly
becoming the de facto standard for a lot of custom written
applications. I tried explaining to them that the added benefits of
using .NET framework saves me time and them money, though I don't
think the cost is that serious of an issue with this customer (or at
least they don't truely understand that the cost difference would be
rediculous) - I would rather not have to go back to plain on ASP
coding and have to hand-write ^everything*!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
