2. Adding RemoteApps Links
If you have an RD Session Host on your network and you’re
using RemoteApp programs, you can extend your Companyweb site to add links to those RemoteApp programs directly on your
users’ home page. The process has four basic steps:
Add the RD Web Access role service on the SBS 2011
Standard server.
Register the Web Part as a safe control.
Create a folder to store the Web Part.
Add the Web Part to Companyweb.
2.1. Add the RD Web Access Role Service
The default installation of SBS includes the functionality
of the RD Gateway role service of Remote Desktop Services, but it
doesn’t actually include any of the Remote Desktop Services role
and doesn’t include the RD Web Access role service. So the first
thing you need to do is add the Remote Desktop Services role and
the RD Web Access role service, using the following steps:
Open Windows Server 2008 R2 Server Manager from the
Start menu.
Click Roles, and then click Add Roles from the Action
menu to open the Select Server Roles page shown in Figure 11.
Select Remote Desktop Services and click Next to open
the Remote Desktop Services page that includes an introduction
to Remote Desktop Services.
Click Next to open the Select Role Services page shown
in Figure 12.
Click Next and then click Install to add the RD Web
Access role service to the SBS server. When the installation
completes, you’ll see the Installation Results page shown in
Figure 13,
warning you that you’ll need to do some additional
configuration to RD Web Access.
Note:
In most cases, you won’t need to restart the SBS
server when you add this role service, but you might need to
add additional updates the next time the server checks for
updates.
Click Close to return to Server Manager. You can close
the Server Manager console; we’re done with it for now.
