Open URLs in RDP client's default browser?
in [Terminal Services]

From: "Jeff Vandervoort" jeffv at jrvsystems dot on 20 Mar 2010 18:39 Considering setting up WS2008 R2 RDP which will host applications. My preference is that if someone clicks a hyperlink in an e-mail app that it opens the URL on the client computer's default browser, NOT on the RD server. This will enable them to install FakeAV 2010 on their computer instead of my mine<g>. My RDP experience is with WS2003, where this is not possible. Is it possible with WS2008 R2? If so, does it require a specific version of the RDP client for Windows? Mac? TIA -- Jeff Vandervoort JRVsystems http://www.jrvsystems.com

Sorry, Rob
From: Matt on 22 Mar 2010 18:39 Why not look at using a filtering solution and preventing certain file extensions from being downloaded all together? If its a work environment this shouldn't cause too many issues I wouldn't think.

But the bad guys are always ahead of the good guys that write virus signatures and whitelists.

What you can do is setup a software restriction policy that allows the users to only execute programs that you explicitly list, or only programs in directories that the users don't have write access to. (i.e. they can execute programs in %windir% and %ProgramFiles% but not in %UserProfile%) This means they cannot execute anything they have downloaded. Of course this only works when you don't give your users Admin or Power User permissions.
