Errors I ran into setting it up and how I fixed it!

Error 1: Certificate Error - RemoteApp & Desktop Connection  "There is a problem with the website's security certificate"


Fix: Simply import the "cer" file using the mmc console

and adding the certificates plugin and then import the cer file from the website.  Method is described below


Example: Go to the https site and then download the cer file and then import that same file using the method above.



Error 2: The url you typed does not have a connection.... blah blah blah


Fix: put the address exactly as shown substituting the word "yourserver" with your exact server name. Method is described below


https://yourserver/rdweb/feed/webfeed.aspx

Now for the procedure summary:



Here is the process for all application working on RemoteApp connections:

Open "INTERNET EXPLORER" <---only works in IE
https://Name_Of_Server/RDWeb
and ignore the warnings
Next go to the warning icon and download the (certificate)cer file
Now create a MMC
Add snap-in Certificates (you could do this for GPO; but for now keep it in LPO)
Next import the cer files you made earlier

Finally go to RemoteApp and Desktop Connection via the control panel and add:

the URL: https://Name_of_Server/RDWeb/Feed/webfeed.aspx

  1. Ah Haa - now I'm cooking, I've got this far, now I just want to know how to automate a certain group to have these apps added automatically when they log on!
    Any ideas on that - PS Thanks for the quick fix, adding the /feed/webfeed.aspx worked for me to add the remote apps through control panel.

  2. Glad it worked for your!!!

    I would use a bat file and then have the GPO do your automation. A simple true false state should work,

    It would look something like this.

    Solution 1:
    Sytax:
    IF EXIST C:\something your bat file creates on 1st run run: a another bat file to exit
    else
    run the settings to install on logon.
    exit

    Solution 2:
    Add the group to a security group and then only allow certain groups access depending on your needs
