Install the TS Web Access Role Service

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

You must install the TS Web Access role service on the server that you want users to connect to over the Web to access RemoteApp programs. When you install the TS Web Access role service, Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 is also installed.

The server where you install TS Web Access acts as the Web server. The server does not have to be a terminal server.

Note

By default, when you install TS Web Access, the TS Web Access Web site installs to the Default Web Site in IIS. To change the default install location of the site, you can configure a different location in the registry. You must do this before you install the TS Web Access role service. For more information, see Change the Install Location of the TS Web Access Web Site.

Membership in the local Administrators group is the minimum required to complete this procedure.
