Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services include a service called TS Web Access. This enables users to access a web page running on the system hosting the Terminal Server to obtain a list of desktops and remote applications which are available for remote access. To access a remote desktop or application the user simply clicks on the appropriate icon and the desktop or remote application will start and display on the local system.
The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of installing and configuring TS Web Access on Windows Server 2008.
Installing TS Web Access Role Service
This chapter assumes that the Terminal Server role has already been installed and configured. If this is not the case, refer first to the Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services chapter for details on installing and configuring the Terminal Server role.
Once the Terminal Server role is configured the next step is to add the TS Web Access Service Role to the system. This is achieved by starting the System Manager and selecting Roles from the right hand panel. As shown below the Terminal Services role is already configured but the only Service Role configured is the Terminal Server:
In order to add the TS Web Access role service click on the Add Role Services link and select TS Web Access from the list of Role Services. TYS Web Access requires a number of other roles, primarily in terms of the IIS web server role. As such, a second dialog will appear listing any additional services which need to be installed along side the TS Web Access service. Click on the Add Role Services to ensure that these services are also installed. Click the Next button to review information about the services being installed. Click next to review the IIS services being installed (unless IIS is already installed on the system). Click Next once again to move to the confirmation screen and click on Install to initiate the installation. During the installation process it will be necessary to restart the system and log in as the same user to complete installation of the TS Web Access role service and any dependencies.
