You don’t want all users to see all applications on the web portal. This feature will probably be released in Windows Server 2008 R2 but till then, you are out of luck. This article helps.

This Remote Desktop Connection Manager UI tool is available on a Remote Desktop Connection Broker server. It allows the administrator to easily configure and organize RemoteApp and Desktop Connections (RADC) resources.

You can find a way to manage your TS Gateway server remotely by using WMI. Here I describe two methods, to add and to remove a Resource Authorization Policy (RAP).

Unlike virtual machines, the operating system that is running from a “boot from VHD” environment is using the actual hardware instead of emulated hardware.

But do not fear, the virtual hard disk wizard is still there – it is just hidden. Or more accurately – it has been placed into more appropriate workflows.
