You can also use the Remote Desktop Services PowerShell module to create, update, and
delete RemoteApp applications. To publish a new remote application, use the New
RDRemoteApp cmdlet. For example, to publish the Windows PowerPoint Viewer application
and have it display in RD Web Access, use the following command:

New-RDRemoteApp -Alias PPTViewer -DisplayName PPTViewer -FilePath "C:\
Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\PPTVIEW.exe" -ShowInWebAccess True
-CollectionName RemoteApps -ConnectionBroker LON-SVR1.Adatum.com

Managing connections to RemoteApp applications
After a collection is created and RemoteApp applications are added to the collection, a user
can connect to the collection and run RemoteApp applications by using the RDC, by signing
in to the RDWeb page, or by subscribing to the RemoteApp feed. If users subscribe to the
RemoteApp feed, the applications appear on the Start screen of their computer if it is running
Windows 8.1 or Windows 8 or on the Start menu of their Windows 7-based computer.

Connecting with RDC
Users can connect to a remote desktop by using the standard RDP client, Remote Desktop
Connection (RDC). The user needs to enter the name of the remote computer in the
Computer box and then click Connect. If the computer to which the user is trying to connect
allows remote access and if the user is in the Remote Desktop Users group for that computer,
the user can sign in to that computer. The user will be presented with a desktop just as if he
or she were signing in locally. A user connecting in this fashion has access to all the resources
of the remote computer just as if he or she were sitting at the local console.
The RDC client has a number of tabs with options that can be configured to control the
user experience. These tabs are as follows:

General Provide the name of the computer to which you want to connect and the
user name you are using to connect. You can also save this configuration in an RDP file
or open an RDP file that might have been provided to you.

puter, such as printers, the Clipboard, local drives, and audio settings.
