- 6. 6 RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) Server Remote Desktop Host Remote Desktop Client Application Remote Desktop & Remote App Visual Studio Skype Visual Studio Skype In Remote Desktop, client will access the desktop remotely as if he/she is working directly in the remote computer. In Remote App, client will access the application remotely as if the application is installed locally.
- 7. Rational Behind RemoteApp • Deploying software onto each and every widely distributed client becomes more and more complex. RemoteApp allows to distribute or locate software in centralized location. • People uses different client form factor running Windows, iOS, Android, Mac OS or embedded devices. RemoteApp can streamline software distribution at ease. • Collaboration between team in different region face challenge of network bandwidth and latency. RemoteApp in central location in Azure datacenter can reduce latency. • Company needs CAPEX to build datacenter and OPEX to manage it. RemoteApp in Azure removes CAPEX leaving only OPEX, making room for more business focused investment.
- 8. What is Azure Remote App? “Azure RemoteApp brings the functionality of the on-premises Microsoft RemoteApp program backed by Remote Desktop Services to Azure. Azure RemoteApp helps you provide secure, remote access to applications from many different user devices “ - Microsoft Azure Azure cloudMicrosoft RemoteApp Azure RemoteApp Microsoft RemoteApp is part of Microsoft Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. It uses RDP – Remote Desktop Protocol that is resilient to network latency and loss.

Editor's Notes
- Presentation Objectives: This presentation provides a high-level overview of Azure RemoteApp. It covers essential concepts and tools for people who are new to Azure RemoteApp to get started. It covers standard RemoteApp and custom RemoteApp. -- Microsoft RemoteApp is part of Microsoft Remote Desktop Services. Using RemoteApp organizations can provide access to a suite of applications without having to roll those applications out to every desktop in the organization, while also being able to restrict users access to the user interface of the published RemoteApp if desired, or deliver a full Remote Desktop experience. Publishing business application as RemoteApp programs greatly reduces the administrative overhead of managing and maintaining those applications.
- Objectives : explain high level agenda of the session Application Virtualization and Azure, explain how an organization can empower their workforce to use any app on a variety of devices, where it can easily scale and get updates. RemoteApp, we will go through some actual step-by-step to create RemoteApp Collection – whether it is a cloud collection, hybrid collection or custom image. Publish Application, after you create your RemoteApp – you need to publish the app or resources in order to make available for the users. And finally, in Manage User – we will learn how to manage user, add/delete users, configure Active Directory and change Azure AD tenant.
- Slide Objectives: Explain philosophy behind Azure RemoteApp. Many industry player believe that virtualization will play a big role in any mobility strategy in the future. The philosophy is simple, how can IT team empower their workforce to use any app that run on Windows Server 2012 R2 on any variety of devices? Whether it is an iPad, old Windows laptop, an Mac or an Android devices. And when they do, how can the IT team manage the apps for scalability, updates and other operation maintenance easily? And because application deployment is platform dependent, we need to use application virtualization so that it will run anywhere regardless the devices or the platform in client.
- Slide Objectives: Shows application virtualization option in Microsoft Azure Platform Application virtualization can be achieved by publishing whole desktop to the user through Remote Desktop Service or publishing just an application to the user through RemoteApp. Desktop Virtualization initiative in Microsoft has started since 1989 when Microsoft collaborated with Citrix to develop virtualized desktop application. In 1998, Microsoft released Windows NT 4.0 Server Terminal Edition, and in 2000 Microsoft released Windows 2000 Terminal Services, which continued to upgrade till Windows 2003 Terminal Service. In 2009, Microsoft changed from Terminal Service to Remote Desktop Services during Windows Server 2008 R2 release. Remote Desktop Service (RDS) enable the user to access desktop environment in remote server, so that she/he can use the application, corporate data while keeping the app and data secure. This is because the actual application or corporate data will never leave remote server environment. Additionally, the IT team can make the most of existing hardware investment by reusing old/thin client to the users, simplify patching and management by centralized control and configuration over the RDS server. RemoteApp is a special mode of Remote Desktop Service, where the UI for RemoteApp is rendered in a window over the local desktop, and is managed like any other window for local applications. This results that it behaves like local application, using redirected local resources and is transparent to the end user. One simple example is, user can associate .docx file type with Microsoft Word RemoteApp; so that when she/he clicks on .docx file – the Microsoft Word RemoteApp will launch using resources in the server. In Microsoft Azure Platform, we can configure Remote Desktop Service (and Remote Desktop Gateway) through creation of Virtual Machine. After we create VM and configure RDS with optional RDGW we can provide Desktop Virtualization to the users. So there we can provide Desktop as a Service (DaaS). RemoteApp on the other hand has been provided as pure cloud SaaS solution in Microsoft Azure Platform. Getting started with Azure RemoteApp is really easy, you can provision the service in minutes directly from Azure Management Portal. And since Microsoft Azure Platform has take care about everything, once it is created you will be able to scale, protect and integrate with existing platform easily.

And because application deployment is platform dependent, we need to use application virtualization so that it will run anywhere regardless the devices or the platform in client.
- There are 2 types of RemoteApp deployment : Cloud Deployment Hybrid Deployment In both type of deployment we can select from available image template or upload our custom template. Basically our option to publish the application is almost limitless, since we can prepare VM Image, install and configure the application and then use it as template during RemoteApp provisioning. The different is that in Cloud Deployment, the RD Sessions Host servers are not connected to on premises environment; and it is not member of on premises Active Directory Domain. Therefore they are isolated from on-premises resources like file servers, SQL server and other services which are deployed on-prem. In Hybrid Deployment, the RD Sessions Host server are connected to on-premises environment through VPN. The VPN provides secure communication channel between on-premises resources and RD Sessions Host server. The RD Session Host server will also become member of on premises Active Directory Domain, so they will be able to access on-premises resources like file servers, SQL servers and other services which are deployed on-prem.
- Slide Objectives: Differentiate between 2 different plan
- Slide Objectives: Explain 3 demos that will be shown RemoteApp using Quick Create option RemoteApp using Create with VPN option Create custom image
- In this demo we are going to provision RemoteApp using Quick Create option. The RemoteApp that we will create will expose Office Professional 2013 application such as Excel, Word, PowerPoint etc. After RemoteApp has been provisioned, we will be able to launch the application from client browser using Remote Desktop Client.
- In this demo we will show how to add user to remoteApp.
