RDWeb Unable to open App

Question

New RDS deployment
Servers for :
RDS Host
RDS Gateway
RDS Broker
RDS Web
RDS Licensing

Good news - I can RDP via the gateway to the RDP desktop fine from both inside and outside the network. All SSLs are in place and working well

When I https into the RDWeb both internally and externally, I can see the 3 published apps
When I try to open the app, I get :

Access Local Resources - I click Allow
Connecting and Launching "Word"

Oops, we couldn't connect to "Word"
We couldn't connect to the remote PC

Not sure what's not configured here

Hi Steve,

Is it possible to publish the built-in applications of windows system (such as Paint, Notepad, Calculator etc.) to see if they can work?
If only Office can’t work, please refer to the following link:

There are special requirements for deploying MS Office as a RemoteApp.

Answer 2

So it seems that a reboot of the web server fixed the minimized issue

Using new Edge, when I open and app it prompt to open the rdp - how can I get Edge / Chrome to open the rdp file automatically ?

Answer 3

Hi Steve,

You can use the AutoOpenAllowedForURLs policy to restrict the URLs for which these file types will be automatically opened on.

Refer to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-policies#autoopenfiletypes

Hi, haven't received your message a few days, was your issue resolved?

Answer 5

I ended up blowing up the install and starting from scratch

Sorry - no real fix - just a rebuild
