Your network contains an Active Directory domain. The domain contains a Remote Desktop Services server that runs Windows Server 2008 R2. All client computers run Windows 7.
You need to deploy a new line of business application.
The deployment must meet the following requirements:
– Users must have access to the application from the company portal.
– Users must always have access to the latest version of the application.
– You must minimize the number of applications installed on the client computers.
What should you do?
A.
Publish the application to the users by using a Group Policy object (GPO).
B.
Publish the application as a RemoteApp. Enable Remote Desktop Web Access (RD Web Access).
C.
Assign the application to the client computers by using a Group Policy object (GPO).
D.
Deploy the application by using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007 R2.

Terminal Services RemoteApp (TSRemoteApp) enables organizations to provide access to standard Windows-based programs from virtually any location to users with computers running WindowsVista, WindowsServer2008, or WindowsXP with Service Pack3 (SP3). TSRemoteApp is also available to users with computers running WindowsXP with Service Pack2 (SP2), Windows Server2003 with Service Pack1 (SP1), or Windows Server2003 with SP2 that have the new Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client installed.
What does TSRemoteApp do?
RemoteApp programs are programs that are accessed remotely through Terminal Services and appear as if they are running on the end user’s local computer. Users can run RemoteApp programs side by side with their local programs. A user can minimize, maximize, and resize the program window, and can easily start multiple programs at the same time. If a user is running more than one RemoteApp program on the same terminal server, the RemoteApp programs will share the same Terminal Services session.
Users can run RemoteApp programs in a number of ways. They can:
* Double-click a Remote Desktop Protocol (.rdp) file that has been created and distributed by their administrator.
* Double-click a program icon on their desktop or Start menu that has been created and distributed by their administrator with a Windows Installer (.msi) package.
* Double-click a file whose extension is associated with a RemoteApp program. (This can be configured by their administrator with a Windows Installer package.)
* Access a link to the RemoteApp program on a Web site by using TSWeb Access.The .rdp files and Windows Installer packages contain the settings needed to run RemoteApp programs. After opening the RemoteApp program on a local computer, the user can interact with the program that is running on the terminal server as if it were running locally.
Key scenarios for TSRemoteApp
TSRemoteApp is especially useful in scenarios such as the following:
* Remote users. Users often need to access programs from remote locations, such as while working from home or while traveling. If you want users to access RemoteApp programs over an Internet connection, you can allow access through a Virtual Private Network (VPN), or you can deploy TSRemoteApp together with Terminal Services Gateway (TSGateway) to help secure remote access to the programs.
* Branch offices. In a branch office environment, there may be limited local IT support and limited network bandwidth. By using TSRemoteApp, you can centralize the management of your applications and improve remote program performance in limited bandwidth scenarios.
* Line-of-business (LOB) applications deployment. Companies often need to run consistent LOB applications on computers that are running different Windows versions and configurations. Instead of deploying the LOB applications to all the computers in the company, which can be expensive in terms of time and cost, you can install the LOB applications on a terminal server and make them available through TSRemoteApp.
* Application deployment. With TSRemoteApp you do not have to deploy and maintain different versions of the same program for individual computers. If employees need to use multiple versions of a program, you can install those versions on one or more terminal servers, and users can access them through TSRemoteApp.
* Roaming users. In a company with a flexible desk policy, users can work from different computers. In some cases, the computer where a user is working may not have the necessary programs installed locally. By using TSRemoteApp, you can install the programs on a terminal server and make them available to users as if those programs were installed locally.
