Hi,

We have TS2008 with RemoteApp and published apllications through TS Web
Access.

Problem is with MAC users - when they open \\TS\packaged_programs it opens
remote desktop, not published apllication.
On TS Web Site (http://ts/ts) they cannot see published apllications (list
is empty).

How to publish any TS Web application for MAC users?

My understanding of the new published applications feature in Windows
Server 2008 is that it's an evolution of TSWeb, which is only compatible
with Windows clients. No Terminal Server web services are compatible
with Macintosh (or any other operating system) because TS uses ActiveX
and Windows-only components.

The fact that the Remote Desktop Connection client for Macintosh is
launching when you connect is a pleasant surprise to me. A remote
desktop application will be your only means of allowing Macs to use
Windows applications on your Terminal Server.

Hope this helps!

Signature
