In order to publish applications from Windows Server, you need to install the Remote Desktop Session Host role. For RDSH to function, the RDS role must be enabled, which you can do from the Server Manager. RDSH is a role within the Remote Desktop Services (RDS) feature for Windows Server. Let’s take a look at how RDSH servers are configured, and then how Horizon delivers applications emanating from them. When accessing published applications, Horizon allows you to stream them to the device of your choice, whether it’s Windows, Mac, or Linux-based, a VDI client, or even a tablet or smartphone. VMware realized the benefits of application streaming early on, and they’ve enabled Horizon to stream desktops and applications from Microsoft Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) servers since Horizon 6. The reason I am so excited about this is that computing always has been-and always will be-about applications, not desktops desktops are just vehicles for accessing applications. One of the coolest features in ControlUp v8.2 (our latest release!) is its ability to monitor and manage published applications.
