Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services Web Access
Another nice article has been published at Realtime Community about Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services Web Access. The article talks about delivering published applications from Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services via a web page. “Creating RemoteApps with Terminal Services is the easy part. Getting those applications so that the users can actually make use of them is the slightly harder part - unless you use TS Web Access.”

[…] I have blogged in the past about Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services TS Web Access. One of the little know facts about TS Web Access is that published applications are not filtered - meaning all users see all applications. This is not usually the desired result. Usually, an administrator will want to limit certain applications to Active Directory groups. Fortunately, TSFactory has created an add-on for TS Web Access that accomplishes thus that - it filters applications based on AD user or group. “The administrator maintains a special XML-based configuration file with a number of entries corresponding to published applications. Each entry specifies which users or groups should NOT be shown these particular applications. When a user opens the TS Web Access starting page in a browser, the list of applications are filtered according to the specified rules in the XML configuration file. All applications that have explicit denial entries for the users or groups they belong to are made are hidden on the starting page.” Oh yeah - this add-on is totally FREE! […]

Unfortunately this filter is based on DENY instead of ALLOW.
This makes it unusable when you have more than 5 apps and 50 users.
When you add an app you have to add all users/groups into that appsetting in order to limit all users from seing it.
The other way around would have been preferrable.
Does anyone know of a solutions that addresses this?
