Windows 2008 Server access through browser

[rishimittal]

I am new to server system.

I am looking to buy a server on remote place and want to run some software in it for my company. There are around 5 user for accounting software (Tally).

I checked with someone they provide the remote access to server through browser. like 103.16.141.97 (can provide userid and password for demo)
They allow me to use one server giving access to 5 different user all at same time using the same software for doing different work.

I would like to ask is it possible to do above thing with windows server 2008 or do we have to buy other software for this kind of remote access.

Read up on Terminal Servers http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754746(v=ws.10).aspx

Terminal Servers as I read require us to have Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) at client side. In this program we can run the application. But as we are using different system like windows, mac, ios etc. we cannot use rdc. we need true HTML5 access.

Sorry if i misunderstand the meaning of above link. Please explain me if it is so.

True, not sure about HTML5, but there was a feature in it that allowed to access it using browser as well, check this http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Configuring_Windows_Server_2008_TS_Web_Access

It appears that a Citrix type access may be the way forward here.

@DarkNight, not sure if he would be willingly to go for Citrix just for 5 users, this feature should work just fine, provided Tally works in this mode.

Can I ask why you are making multiple threads here - instead keep it in the same thread you originally started?

Cost wise - depends on what is being given by the company. Secondly, Tally over net - not really going to good. And browser based - certainly not.
