RDS Web Access

Also new to Windows Server 2008 and extended in Windows Server 2012 RDS is a role called RDS Web Access. RDS Web Access allows a remote client to access an RDS session without having to launch the RDP client, but instead connect to a web page, similar to that shown in Figure 1.9, that then allows the user to log on and access his or her session off the web page. This simplifies the access method for users; where they can just set a browser favorite to link them to a URL that provides them Terminal Services access.
