RemoteApp for Server 2003

[Guest Synapse Syndrome]

http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/library/57995ee7-e204-45a4-bcee-5d1f4a51a09f1033.mspx?mfr=true

 

According to this page, RemoteApp is available in Windows Server 2003 SP1

onwards. At this stage I am unsure how to use it.

 

Would I be able to use a program that is already running on the server?

That is, can I have an instance of a program running live on the server,

24/7, and be able to call up this same running instance, on a desktop

computer, through RemoteApp? Could I then close the application on the

remote computer, but still have that instance running on the server?

 

Thanks

TS RemoteApp is available on Windows Server 2008. Apps published using TS

RemoteApp can be accessed by clients Vista, Windows Server 2008, XP (SP2),

Win2K3(SP1) with new RDP client.

 

Following is the text from link you mentioned

 

"TS RemoteApp is installed as part of the Terminal Server role service in

Windows Server 2008.

Terminal Services RemoteAppT (TS RemoteApp) enables organizations to provide

access to standard Windows®-based programs from virtually any location to

users of any Windows Vista®-based or Windows Server® 2008-based computer, or

to users of Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2)-based or Windows Server

2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1)-based computers that have the new Remote

Desktop Connection (RDC) client installed."

Oh okay, I misread. But does RemoteApp (in Server 2008) allow running

instances to be called and used on the remote computer in the way I

mentioned in the original post?

Is Presentation Virtualization the solution to what I am asking about?
