When the Terminal Services Web Access (TS Web Access) role service is installed, a default Web page is automatically created. By default, the Web site is located at https://server_name/ts, where server_name is the name of the TS Web Access server.

To populate the Web page with a list of available RemoteApp programs, you must specify a terminal server for TS Web Access to use. Any RemoteApp programs on the specified terminal server that are configured to show in TS Web Access will appear on the Web page.

Resolve

Specify a terminal server to be used by the TS Web Access server

To resolve this issue, specify a terminal server from which to populate the list of TS RemoteApp programs that will appear in the TS Web Access Web Part.

To perform this procedure, you must be logged on with the local Administrator account or have membership in the local TS Web Access Administrators group on the TS Web Access server.

To specify which terminal server to use:

    • On the TS Web Access server, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, point to Terminal Services, and then click TS Web Access Administration.
    • Use Internet Explorer to connect to the TS Web Access Web site. By default, the Web site is located at https://server_name/ts, where server_name is the name of the TS Web Access server.

  2. Log on to the site by using either the local Administrator account, or an account that is a member of the local TS Web Access Administrators group. If you are already logged on to the computer as one of these accounts, you are not prompted for credentials.

  3. On the title bar, click the Configuration tab.

    Note:  If you access the TS Web Access Web site by using the TS Web Access Administration option, the page automatically opens to the Configuration tab.

  4. In the Editor Zone area, in the Terminal server name box, enter the name of the terminal server that you want to use as the data source.

  5. Click Apply to apply the changes.
