However, with RemoteApp, this challenge disappears. One of the challenges of using a Terminal Server/RDS Server is getting your users used to the fact that the remote screen is not their local computer – interacting with the remote machine is slightly different. Why present an entirely new desktop, full of icons and options, just so the user can run one application?
For instance, if you have mobile users that connect to your network via VPN to get on the Terminal Server/RDS Server to run one application, RemoteApp will be perfect. You can certainly use RemoteApp for multiple programs, too, but when you have only one, it seems almost silly not to use it. RemoteApp is an extremely handy feature that can eliminate a lot of sysadmin headaches.
However, many people who are using Terminal Server/RDS Server still don’t know about it. Are you using your Terminal Server/RDS Server for one main application? A database or ERP program, perhaps? If so, you are a prime candidate for RemoteApp, a remote access tool introduced by Microsoft for Server 2008 R2.
