Install the RD Web Access role service on the server that you want users to connect to over the Web to access RemoteApp programs, or virtual desktops. When you install the RD Web Access role service, Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is also installed.

The server where you install RD Web Access acts as the Web server. The server does not have to be a Remote Desktop Session Host (RD Session Host) server.

Membership in the local Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477).
