Deploy MMC as Remote application Via Terminal Server 2008
- I have the need to deploy a custom MMC to manage 2008 active directory to a group people using Xp sp3 clients and the best way that I have thought of deply is via a Windows 2008 Terminal Server Remote application. I want to be able to give them an RDP shortcut so the MMC displays as if it was installed on the XP client. If anyone has any idia on how to deploy MMC in this way please let me know.
Thanks in Advance you help would be greatly appreciated.

You can publish it as any other remote App. Suppose your MMC Snapin is named xyz.msc, you can just publich xyz.msc through the Remote App Manager. Have you already tried that and ran into any issues?

- Do you want to show a customized icon for your MMC? If that is the case, you can look into the blog http://blogs.msdn.com/rds/archive/2009/04/06/how-to-make-remoteapp-show-the-application-icon-when-starting.aspx for more info on the same.

Vikash - Thanks for the reply that looks like a good idea, however, I was looking for a way to deploy the MMC as a Terminal server RemoteApp.

- Thank all of you for the replies. I was able to deploy the MMC by typing the path \\server\C$\windows\system32\dsa.msc.
