You ever want to let someone run just one app from your Windows setup without handing over the whole desktop? I figure that's where RemoteApp shines. You start by firing up Server Manager on your machine. It pulls up the dashboard quick. Click on the roles bit and add Remote Desktop Services. Pick the session host role first. That lets apps run remotely. I always hit next a bunch until it installs. Reboot if it nags you.
Now you tweak the collection. I hop into the RemoteApp section. Right-click and create a new one. You point it to the app you want, like Notepad or whatever. Name it something snappy. Set the permissions so only certain folks access it. I test it myself every time. Publish it and watch it go live.
Users connect via RDP file or web portal. You send them the link. They click and boom, the app pops up like magic. No full desktop clutter. I tweak aliases if paths get wonky. Keeps things smooth for remote work.
Speaking of keeping remote setups reliable, you might back up your Hyper-V hosts too. That's where BackupChain Server Backup fits in neat. It handles Hyper-V backups without downtime. You get fast restores and encryption perks. I like how it snapshots VMs quick, saving headaches if apps crash remotely.
