This section describes how to deploy Novell virtual applications using Microsoft Windows 2008
Terminal Services RemoteApp server.
6.7.1
Terminal Services RemoteApp
Terminal Services RemoteApp is a server-side program that provides end-users remote access to
applications on a terminal server. Applications configured with TS RemoteApp appear as though
they are running locally on the user's machine. End-users can run RemoteApps side-by-side with
local programs or other RemoteApps.
To utilize virtual applications created in ZENworks Application Virtualization with Microsoft TS
RemoteApp:
•
On the TS RemoteApp server, open the TS RemoteApp Manager and choose
Add
RemoteApp Programs
by right-clicking inside the
RemoteApp Programs
list or
through the
Action
drop down menu.
•
Click
Next
in the
RemoteApp Wizard
.
•
Click
Browse
and select the virtual application executable.
•
After the virtual application is added to the list, select it and click
Properties
.
•
If the virtual application has multiple Startup Files, configure the RemoteApp Program
Name
and
Alias
. If this is not done, the TS RemoteApp server will not distinguish
between the separate applications in the suite.
•
Still in the
Properties
window, select
Always use the following command-line
argument
, enter in the
Trigger
for the Startup File that is to be executed, and click
OK
.
•
In the
RemoteApp Programs
list, right-click the program that you added and choose
Create .rdp File
. There are no special requirements for the .rdp files.
If there are multiple Startup Files, repeat these steps for the other applications in the suite and
deploy the shortcuts on the host systems.
