摘要:
Techniques for auto provisioning and publication of applications are described. The auto provisioning process enables automatic installation of applications having their respective file packages pre-stored in the server. Subsequently, publication of these applications is conducted automatically. By employing such an automatic process, the latency involved in provisioning and publication of remote applications is reduced, thereby making the process more efficient.

Terminal sessions providing remote access to functionality may be isolated from each other, as well as from the server system space, by being placed in system virtualization instances. Applications associated with terminal sessions may be allocated to system virtualization instances. In particular, system virtualization instances may be pre-instantiated, and applications may be dynamically allocated to the system virtualization instances, for example, according to a virtualization instance policy. The system virtualization instances may provide, in particular, an ability for terminal session components and associated applications to create, read, update and delete resources in a global name space of a host server without conflict, collision or other interference with each other or other server components.

Systems and methods for enumerating applications by a remote client computer are described. The applications are deployed in an Intranet. The remote client computer is external to the Intranet. In one aspect, a remote application discovery request is sent to a Web service. The Web service is deployed on a remote applications publication (RAP) Web server in the Intranet. The remote application discovery request is sent to the Web service by the remote client computer via a public network that connects the remote client computer to the Web server. Responsive to sending the remote application discover request, a discovery response from the Web service is received. The discovery response identifies at least one application installed on the Intranet for terminal server (TS) based access by a user of the remote client computer.

A server-client system is configured to store, on a client, server configuration information relating to a peripheral device connected at the client and parameter settings for the peripheral device. The information is updated as changes occur. After the client has been disconnected from the system and the peripheral device uninstalled, the peripheral device is automatically installed and the parameter settings restored without requiring significant user interaction when the client reconnects. The automatic installation and restoring is performed even if the client is connected to a different server than it was originally.

A server-client system is configured to automatically detect and install peripheral devices, such as printers, scanners, etc. that are attached to a client. The server is configured to detect the peripheral device and install a driver that is compatible with the peripheral device. The I/O queue created for the peripheral device is redirected to the port to which the peripheral device is connected.

Systems and methods of a Web service for remote terminal service application discovery are described. In one aspect, a Web service in an Intranet is provided. The Web service is coupled to a public network. The Web service facilitates remote client computer discovery over the public network of information corresponding to application(s) deployed on the Intranet. The remote client computer is external to the Intranet. The application(s) are configured for terminal server based access for a user of the remote client computer.

In a multi-user server-client environment, a printer can be attached to a client computer. The server selects a corresponding printer driver to install on the server in order to allow applications executing on the server to print to the printer attached to the remote client computer. The selection process allows the server to intelligently identify closely matching printer drivers in the event that a particular printer driver that the server is notified of is not available for installation.

A system and method for managing and enforcing software licenses through automating per-seat software licensing using a “leased license” approach provides vendors with the assurance that purchasers are complying with software licenses while maximizing a customer's use of purchased software licenses. Licenses are automatically enforced by expiring leased licenses and making the expired licenses available again for use by client computers. A system includes a licensing clearinghouse, a license server, clients, and terminal servers. A terminal server assists a client in obtaining a license with an expiration date from a license server, and helps maintain the client's license status through license requests to the license server. Licenses that expire are recycled and made available again to clients. Prior to expiring, licenses are automatically updated during a license update period, and if a license is lost, a temporary license is issued. After the license update period, clients may receive a license update or a new license. Temporary licenses are replaced with permanent licenses that are returned to the available license pool, thus netting out the overall distribution of purchased licenses and assuring that a customer's use of purchased licenses in not lost.
