Types of Applications
On a terminal server, you can install:
• Custom and line of business (LOB) applications
• Applications that use application virtualization technologies
• Off-the-shelf applications
Considerations for Installing Applications
When installing applications, you need to:
• Check for any program dependencies and compatibility issues
• Ensure that the installed application works in a multi-user environment
• Test the application in a lab environment before deploying it on the production server
• Ensure regular backup of application servers
• Make relevant modifications to the default settings of the applications
Introduction to TS RemoteApp Programs
A RemoteApp™ program on a terminal server:
• Can be accessed remotely through TS
• Displays on the client as if it is running on the local computer
• Can run along with local programs on the client computer
• Has its own resizable window and entry on the taskbar of a client desktop
• Can share a TS session with another RemoteApp program on the same terminal server
Advantages of Using RemoteApp Programs
Using RemoteApp programs:
• Centralizes and minimizes administration
• Enhances experience for users who securely access remote programs
• Is useful in environments where users do not have computers assigned to them
• Helps deploy multiple versions of an application without conflicts
• Causes minimum problems while running different programs on multiple desktops
