I am a bit too lazy to think of something complicated tonight. It is 1:20am after my shower. I was watching The Incrideble Hulk with my sister last night and it was great fun. Nice effects, just like the Transformer. IMHO.
So I was browsing the internet for more features on Windows 2008. Then I came across this article( part 2 ) . I recalled I actually setup the terminal services a few years ago to remotely access my desktop oversea when I was away for a few weeks (just to keep track of my emules download). It was great fun and since the firewall setting should still in place, I have decided to try this out again tonight.
The procedure is straight forward, thanks to the clear instructions from the articles above. The only thing that I don't have, is the ability ($$$) to purchase the terminal server licenses (I still can use it for 119 days) and to upgrade the MS Office 2007 (Technet plus subscription) to terminal server enabled. Other then that, it is all good to test it remotely.
So I logged on to my workplace, connected to my home router using the ip address (my dynip subscription was long expired), IE6 complaint about activeX missing for rdp6.1. According to the part 2 of the articles it comes with XP SP3 or Vista SP1. Well, I googled it and found the direct download for the rdp6.1 alone. You can follow the link and download here.
Well, after installed rdp6.1 it worked. Just as expected. Like I said there is really nothing too complicated here. There is one think I yet to figure out. According to part 2 of the article " TS Web Access, by default, will display RemoteApp programs hosted on a single terminal server. However, there are ways to leverage TS Web Access to access an entire farm of terminal servers. The catch is that all terminal servers must have the same RemoteApp programs published since TS Web Access has no way to identify multiple terminal server targets for the web part. ".
Looks like like the web access applications are managed on the farm level. I can't help comparing it with Citrix. Just like the HyperV and VMWare. We all know this is not the first time MS come out with something second to the trend of the industries. When can we have an server OS that can do everything we need. Well, having said that I wish that never happen. I can't imagine how is it like when MS can offers everything in a package and monopolize the market. Too lazy to think and too tired to guess. Time for bed.
