Hi there,
Using remote desktop, is it possible to set some kind of default remote app instead of a full desktop environment for a specific user ?
Currently, I'm able to do this using 2 ways :
- by creating an RDP file which contains some remoteapp* parameters, and pass it to mstsc.exe
- using a Custom User Interface policy for a dedicated app user (for example calc@demo.com user will have win32calc.exe as custom user interface) thanks to security filters.
The first way involves client-side configuration. I don't want that.
The second way works but creates an empty fullscreen background around my custom user interface program. If I close my program, the user is now facing a background without any further action possible but closing RDP session. I could build a wrapper around my program to call shutdown -L but it requires more work. I don't want to use a batch file.
So ideally, I want the best of both worlds : a server-side configuration only, and where only the app must be visible to the end user. Without any empty fullscreen background around it.
I'm using Windows Server 2016
Many thanks for your help.
