Integrate Remote Desktop Client in a Web Page

Question

I'm creating a cloud where clients can access same machine(Simultaneously Use same Virtual Machine)through RDP. Now I need some way for the clients to run the Remote Desktop Connection that comes preinstalled with Windows. I used a link to RDP clients location: <a href="c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe">. But I was told it's not allowed because of security reasons and moreover it'll check for the location on the web page's hosting. So, now I am looking for way to Integrate the RDP client in web page.

Answer 1

You could copy the behavior of the RD Web Access role : either integrate the "MsRdpClientShell" activeX in your page, or make the user download a .RDP file.

Essentially, you are trying to do the same thing as the RDWA role. I suggest you look at the RDWA role for an example of how to do this.
