I am working on a project to make certain legacy applications (Native and .NET) multi-tenant and deliver them as Remote Apps (using RDS on Windows Azure).
I had a question which affects several parts of these applications. Several screens invoke Excel or Outlook with features like “Open report in Excel” or “Email using mail client”. These seem to be heavily used by end users. The problem now is that - with the application virtualized and running on a remote server, it is now a challenge to open Excel and Outlook from remote sessions. Also, I suppose there may be licensing limitations with Office running on a server (is SPLA possible?)
I wanted to understand how I could tackle this situation. Is it possible to retain the end user experience or the feature should be disabled entirely?
Thanks in Advance!
