How to launch local system application from Remote Desktop Application (Windows 2008R2)

terminal-serverwindows-server-2008-r2

I'm new to using Remote Desktop Services on Windows server 2008 R2.

I'm trying to find out whether it's possible to fire up a local application [based on file extension?] on the local client when opened from another published application running on the terminal server.

You've been able to do this for some time in Citrix, but wandered whether anybody have any experience of this using just the Windows 2008 server?

Thanks in advance,

Sam

AFAIK, it's not possible natively with TS and RDP. Writing a virtual channel handler for doing so shouldn't be too complex, though. Do you know any programing ?
