Want to server up apps to my desktops on my netowrk (at home)
just for testing....I have a box all setup with Windows 2000 Server on it all patched and ready to go, was going to turn my Terminal Services over to application mode, but not sure what needs to be done to serve up a shortcut to my desktops for say...Officw-XP programs...

thx!
 
Basically the TS has to be in install mode (through command prompt or using add/remove in control panel) however installing any MS office products requires a pretty tricky procedure and some utils.Do a search to get to the info im talking about.

For Remote Admin 2KTS is good.However deploying apps is done with Citrix or web-enabled solutions not MS.
 
yeah...I have Citrix but wanted to avoid using it =)


I might just say the heck with it and test later on..

Thanks for the info!
 
Citrix is the only way to install an icon on a remote desktop and have it run the app in a seamless window. NT TSE just supports full-screen pc-anywhere-style connections.

I thought you could specify that when a user logs on to a terminal server you can set it so that the user only sees the program icons you have specified ie:word, excel..etc.

I've configured both NT4 TSE and W2K to run a single application in windowed mode, without offering a desktop shell to the user.
I've also configured it with full desktop support, but limited the applications a user was allowed to execute.

As far as I know, the main benefits of the Citrix overlay are:
* Better application management features (deployments, config changes, etc.)
* Lower bandwidth requirements
* Multi-platform client support

Main drawbacks of Citrix:
* $$$
* $$$
* and more $$$
 
TallGeese-
I've been using terminal services for the past two years in remote admin, and to push a desktop to remote clients. How do you set it up to just push office apps? I would love to have an icon on the desktop for each office app (word,excel,etc.) so I wouldn't need to have office installed on the each PC.

Thanks.
