Question : Does Win 2008 R2 Remote Desktop allow users with limited rights and access

Right now I'm using RDP to access my Win 2008 R2 Std server as Administrator so I can run certain apps., but I need to give a user access to this server remotely with limited access (no Admin rights) to run these apps.
They only need to run a Console App from this server. Does RDP allow this with their own login and limited machine rights?
Would they need to use MSTSC.exe or is there a Web solution?

Answer : Does Win 2008 R2 Remote Desktop allow users with limited rights and access

If you look into remote desktop services (Added role) this allows you to setup a terminal server like environment, if you utilise the remote apps feature this will allow you to publish certain apps to the user.
These apps are then accessible via a web page and appear to launch on the local machine although a connection to the server is established.
