Customizing the Text at the Top of the TS Web Access Web Site

Have you installed TS Web Access on Windows Server 2008 and been unexcited about the default screen layout? It is possible to do some minimal customization of the screen, if you're willing to hack around a bit with the supplied code from Microsoft.

While doing some research, I poked around today with the text at the top of the TS Web Access screen. This text normally looks like this:

But what I really wanted was something customized. Something that looks like this:

image-02-070308.jpg

Well, it turns out that these elements of this web page are actually text-based. This makes it very easy to change the text by altering the web site's default.aspx file located on the TS Web Access server at C:\Windows\web\ts\en-US. Open the file and search for the following code snippet:

string L_WindowsServer2008_Text = "Windows Server® 2008"; string L_TSWebAccess_Text = "TS Web Access";

To change the text, simply alter the text that I've italicized above. Fwa-BAM! Instant customzied TS Web Access web site.
