I'll be more succinct then. It is NOT RDP when it comes to the publishing
requirements. TS over HTTP is a web publishing scenario, which is what the
original poster was asking a related question to. There is no need to publish
anything that has to do directly with RDP in any form to make the web
interface work and open a remote desktop session in it, only a http rule.
However, other issues will interfere with its usefulness that also have
nothing to do with RDP directly.
 
No arguing intended, just trying to be clear and point out it is not just
black and white. :-)

As I said, it's still RDP.
 
RDP with a web interface. All traffic is by RDP.

Yes, but you access it with a web browser over http. I am just not sure how
the activex xontrol will work with naming. You would have to be able to
resolve a legitimate DNS or NetBIOS name or IP address that the client end
knows how to route in the web browser entry point for TS from where ever you
are attempting. I am also not sure that specifying SSL is an option for the
web interface. Just a curiousity since the question was posed. 
 
I just wanted to clarify that it is not just simply RDP, there is an HTTP
interface for it built in to all Win2k and later servers which can access any
other RDP or TS enabled system through the web interface. However, I don't
see it as a suitable alternative for reaching many internal machines for
remote sessions. By using the web interface you move name resolution and IP
routing requirements to the accessing client and that won't work from outside
if the ISA network is properly configured.
 
The best solution is one system published for RDP and use that to piggyback
to others or use VPN, which I find works quite well. It does arouse my
curiosity though.

Could it not be done over a web enabled terminal services? Set up a
server for web enabled TS, then make that SSL only? Not sure if that
would work because of the name requirements to use it (DNS might prevent
it from working?). Think I'll see if it can be a published web site,
curiosity.

Man how come you are always here? I guess you are using a portable
device like blackberry.

Anyway, may I ask why?

Good evening,
This idea is spinning in my head of publishing a terminal server using
https instead of remote desktop. Main reason I think I can only allow
remote terminal from machines that I install the certificate manually
(maybe I am wrong) also I think authentication happens in ISA instead of
backend server (Like OWA) so if client is not is legitimate user they
won't be hammering the back end server and won't pass through ISA before
proper user name and password is used.
Would someone clear this for me please?
Appreciated
