Using Remote Desktop via your Browser

In Windows Vista:




This is really simple and easy. Works with Windows Server 2003 and XP:

Using “Add or Remove Programs”, select “Add/Remove Components” and in “Application Server” select “Details”. You will find another list and in “Internet Information Services” select “Details” again and check “Remote Desktop Web Connection”.




When the installation starts you’ll be prompted to insert the Windows Server 2003 CD. After the installation is complete you are ready to use your Remote Desktop Connection in the default direction established in IIS: http://localhost/tsweb/



As a best practice, is always recommended that you set your permissions in IIS to not allow anonymous authentication, any other will be fine; and use HTTPS for the communication.
