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

You mean a full desktop but access to only one application? Absolutely.
it's a "simple" matter of locking down the desktop and OS. Nothing has
changed there but maybe a bit easier now with new GPO's etc. I'm still
looking through the GPO's myself......

It sounds like I would need to go with Windows 2008 TS. I am familiar
with the start-up options for earlier versions of Terminal Services,
where you can automatically start applications/programs.

I don't believe I was specific enough in my original post. What I'm
looking for is a way to have someone remote into the server and ONLY
be allowed to run a specific (custom made .NET) program/application.

Is this still a possibility in TS 2008?

Thanks again, and sorry for being too vague the first time.

Windows 2008 has a new feature called remoteapp that allows a remote

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.- Hide quoted text -
