Publicating a TS Farm in TS Web Access 2008

April 7, 2008

Hello,

Can we configure a TS Web Access to populate the Remote Apps of several TS ?

We did not want to setup IIS on the TS and installed the TS Web App on a

dedicated server.

We published remote apps that point to a TS Farm but as it seems we cannot

enter a TS Farm name in the TS Web App configuration I had to enter a

specific TS in the configuration. When this specific is down no remote apps

are listed in the TS Web Apps. So how can we manage to publish remote app

that point to a TS Farm with the TS Web Access on a dedicated server ?

Thank you, Ralph

Re: Publicating a TS Farm in TS Web Access 2008

Configure the data source for TS Web Access

You can configure TS Web Access to populate the list of RemoteApp programs

that appear in the Web Part from a specific terminal server or terminal

server farm.

Specify the data source for TS Web Access

By default, TS Web Access populates its list of RemoteApp programs from a

single terminal server, and points to the local host. The Web Part is

populated by all RemoteApp programs that are enabled for TS Web Access on

that terminal server's RemoteApp Programs list.

To complete this procedure, you must log on to the TS Web Access server by

using the local Administrator account or an account that is a member of the

TS Web Access Administrators group on the TS Web Access server.

To specify which terminal server to use as the data source

1. Connect to the TS Web Access Web site. To do this, use either of the

following methods:

. On the TS Web Access server, click Start, point to Administrative Tools,

point to Terminal Services, and then click TS Web Access Administration.

. Use Internet Explorer to connect to the TS Web Access Web site. By

default, the Web site is located at the following address, where server_name

is the name of the TS Web Access server:

http://server_name/ts

2. Log on to the site by using either the local Administrator account, or

an account that is a member of the local TS Web Access Administrators group.

(If you are already logged on to the computer as one of these accounts, you

are not prompted for credentials.)

3. On the title bar, click the Configuration tab.

Note: If you access the TS Web Access Web site by using the TS Web Access

Administration option, the page automatically opens to the Configuration

tab.

4. In the Editor Zone area, in the Terminal server name box, enter the name

of the terminal server that you want to use as the data source.

5. Click Apply to apply the changes.

Re: Publicating a TS Farm in TS Web Access 2008

Ratnesh,

Your answer doesn't address the question. I too am having the same issue

where TSweb will not list applications published for a farm. TSweb seems to

only publish applications from an individual terminal server. Microsoft's

documentation explains that you can either point the TSweb Access Properties

to a individual server or single farm. Point to a single farm doesn't seem to

work. The only other documentation that i have seen that kind of addresses

the issue is to customize TS web access using share point services to creat a

single web access point.

Could you clarify your explaination with regards to pointing TSweb to a farm?

Re: Publicating a TS Farm in TS Web Access 2008

If you point to a farm name, there must be a DNS entry for that farm name,

and WMI traffic to the farm name must reach one of the TSs in the farm. In

addition, all farm members must be identically configured.

Re: Publicating a TS Farm in TS Web Access 2008

DNS A and ptr records exist, all machines are on the same ip network/switch,

WMI appears to be working because my NMS platform uses WMI to pull

performance counters, and the servers in the farm should be identical because

one configuration was made on one server and exported to the other. What else

is there to check? Is there a log file or something?

Publicating a TS Farm in TS Web Access 2008

It is currently NOT possible to configure TS Web Access to point to a farm though documentation says it is.

This is because kerberos is used for non-local authentication instead of NTLM.

July 11, 2008

Re: Publicating a TS Farm in TS Web Access 2008

So your saying that all that beta testing was for nothing and this feature

just completely does not work? I'll have to let the companies know who have

it working that they dont' actually have it working :)

sorry, just having fun. Blanket statements like this on a big feature like

this are typically incorrect, just fyi.

Re: Publicating a TS Farm in TS Web Access 2008

Actually Don is 100% correct. I opened a case w/ Microsoft and here is the

status. In summary this configuration will not work as documemted.

"Gabriel,

Our Windows Sustained Engineering and Development team are still working on

this issue. When we use farm name in TS Web Client Configuration page, TS

web client makes a WMI call to the Terminal Server. To authenticate the

server the TS Web client uses Kerberos which will fail as there is no SRV

record for the TS farm name.

Currently Development team is working on two fixes in Windows 7 (next

version of Windows). First fix is to allow negotiate in WMI and then fix the

TS web client to use negotiate when making a WMI call.

Once the fix is checked into Windows 7, our Sustained Engineering team will

analyze the fix and see if it can be safely back ported to Windows 2008.

Please let me know if you have any questions

Thanks and Regards,

Re: Publicating a TS Farm in TS Web Access 2008

You can point TS Web Access to a farm member name and this will get you most

of the benefits, as long as you set the farm name in RemoteApp Manager.

The only thing this doesn't get you is high availability, if the individual

TS you entered goes down.

Re: Publicating a TS Farm in TS Web Access 2008

Rob, sorry to say but you are wrong. If you would like the SR# to research it

internally, i will be more than happy to provide it.

You cannot point TSWeb Access web part to a farm tp populate The RemoteApp

page. You get an Event ID 3 (security-kerberose) and an 10009 (DCOM) error.
