→Installing TS Web Access Role Service
In order to add the TS Web Access role service click on the ''Add Role Services'' link and select ''TS Web Access'' from the list of Role Services. TYS Web Access requires a number of other roles, primarily in terms of the IIS web server role. As such, a second dialog will appear listing any additional services which need to be installed along side the TS Web Access service. Click on the ''Add Role Services'' to ensure that these services are also installed. Click the ''Next'' button to review information about the services being installed. Click next to review the IIS services being installed (unless IIS is already installed on the system). Click ''Next'' once again to move to the confirmation screen and click on ''Install'' to initiate the installation. During the installation process it will be necessary to restart the system and log in as the same user to complete installation of the TS Web Access role service and any dependencies.
== Accessing the TS Web Access Page ==
Before accessing the TS Web Access web page it is important to note that the service make use of JScript (Microsoft's implementation of JavaScript). Internet Explorer versions 7 and later disable JScript support by default, so it will be necessary to enable this support to add the TS Web Access page as a trusted site. To enable JScript support, launch IE, open the ''Tools'' menu and select ''Internet Options''. In the ''Internet Options'' dialog select the ''Security'' tab and click on ''Custom Settings''. In custom settings scroll down to ''Active Scripting'' and click in the ''Enable'' toggle. Apply the changes and restart IE.
Once JScript has been enabled the TS Web Access page can be reached using the following URL:
<pre>
http://systemID/ts
</pre>
Where ''systemID'' in the above URL is the name or IP address of the system running Terminal Services. On successful connection the browser will prompt for the user and password credentials. Once entered, the TS Web Access page will appear, listing any remote applications available for access on the local system:
