RDP Web Access

[dberg35]

I am running a Win 2003 server and we currently use Remote Desktop. I would like to try using RDP via web but can't get clear directions how to set this up, any info would be great.

Did you Google it at all first?

Yea I have seen this before, but when I download the software nothing works. Is there something that needs to be installed on the server?

You will need to configure IIS correctly

I think you should go for Remote Desktop Web Connection. It's a Windows component which you can install through Add/Remove programs on Server 2003. Once installed what you get is a virtual directory in IIS from what I can remember (this is configurable). What you need to do is install RD Web Connection, then check IIS - there should be a tsweb virtual directory. So you fire up Internet Explorer and type

http://www.mysite.com/tsweb

and you'll be presented with a logon screen (an active X control will have to be installed first on the client visitng the page for the first time). The client will automatically bepromopted to install the ActiveX control.
