I did my first MS TS 2008 Deployment the other day with the TS Gateway. The published application feature is really nice. If you don't want users to have access to the desktop on your TS server this feature is a must. However I ran into one major limitation, they can't change their password. Their is currently no way for users to change their password through the TS Gateway alone. I heard they may be releasing this functionality with R2 for 2008. In the meantime I've come up with a not so perfect but semi workable solution. I copied the issadmpwd directory from an Exchange 2003 server and imported onto one of my 2003 servers with IIS for this network. I then created a link to the published web page and added it through the TS 2008 remote app manager. Users now at least have a link to a web page that they can launch to change their password.
There's some scripts out there that you can edit to notify user by e-mail before their password is set to expire. I haven't implemented any of them yet, but that seems like it may be a good way to handle the notification process.
Here's the MS link to getting the IISADMPWD site up and running:
