By default, computers that are running the Windows Vista and Windows XP operating systems cannot access RemoteApps and Remote Desktops that are published by Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG). However, on computers that are running Windows XP with Service Pack 3, Windows Vista with Service Pack 1, or Windows Vista with Service Pack 2, you can apply a Remote Desktop Connection 7.0 client update to allow these computers to access RemoteApps and Remote Desktops.
