The previous chapter covered the basic installation and configuration of Remote Desktop Services on Windows Server 2008 R2. Once this task has been completed the next step is to install applications on the Windows Server 2008 R2 RD Session Host system for use by multiple remote users. It is important to note that, firstly, applications must be installed specifically for use by Remote Desktop Services users and, secondly, that not all applications are designed to be run by multiple concurrent users. With these constraints in mind, this chapter will cover the basics of safely installing applications on Windows Server 2008 R2 for use by remote users via Remote Desktop Services.
This chapter will focus on installing applications in the context of remote desktop access (where a remote user accesses a full desktop session on the remote server to launch applications). To have each remote application run within its own window on the local client it will be necessary to configure the applications as RemoteApps, a topic which is covered in detail in Chapter 19 - [[Configuring RemoteApps on Windows Server 2008 R2]].
