I'm trying to test the use of Terminal Services on Windows Server 2008
Standard but I can't quite get it to work. I've installed the Terminal
Services Role and published my Remote Applications using Office 2007
applications for the test. When I try to access the programs using
http://myserver.com/ts using Vista SP 1, I can see the programs on the web
page and even open them (e.g. Excel) but I immediately get an error message
saying " this feature is not supported", and I can go no further. I should
mention that my Vista SP1 is a virtual machine on the same Windows 2008
server, running under hyper-v. I'm too new to virtual machines to know if
that's causing my problem. I should also mention I tried to connect to
Terminal Services using XP Pro SP2, but had no luck because apparently I
don't have the right version of RDC. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks for responding Meinolf. I feel like I've done all these things
correctly since I can get to the point where the application (e.g. excel or
word) is actually opened in TS Web Access, meaning I can see the
spreadsheet. The problem is that as soon as the program opens I get this
error message that says "This feature is not supported, contact your system
admin.". I don't have a copy of XP SP3 yet so I can't try that, and as I
said in my first post, I'm using Vista SP1 for my tests but its a virtual
machine on the same 2008 server. Any other thoughts?

I think I figured it out. I can't use my version of Office 2007 in a
terminal services setup apparently, even just to test things out, which is
what I'm trying to do.
