Remote Desktop Services - Append Domain Name to RemoteApps

[2097]

Setting up a new remote access server with server 2019 and having the following problem

 

I have setup RDWEB to automatically add DOMAIN\ when a user logins... which is fine.

 

My problem is when a user from a non domain computer try to run a RemoteAPP such as WORD , it prompts for credentials . They have to put DOMAIN\USERNAME in the box

 

With my previous server i was able to edit the RDP for Remote desktop and add a few things which automatically assigned this .

 

With server 2019, Looks like the RDP's for each Remoteapp are stored in the registry on the server . Tried to edit one but it brakes the RDP

 

Any one done this for external access ?

Ok looks like you cant add the setting username:s:DOMAIN\ via the method explained above , unsure why ..

 

From reading up, if you add any setting after the signed part of the RDP it still applys . If you add it before the signed part of the RDP it corrupts .

 

I made all my remote apps , Signed them , downloaded them ... Added username:s:DOMAIN\ to the bottom of each one.

 

I then ditched RDWEB and we already have Home Access Plus Setup , so just using that to allow people to run the apps.

 

I noticed rdweb works flawlessly in IE , Firefox,chrome and even edge required "username:s:domain" . I assume its because none of them run the ActiveX addon .

 

So i have it setup like the following

 

2 session hosts

1 connection broker

1 gateway

 

SSL assigned to all

 

All RDP's signed with the domain inserted

 

ALL RDP's ( Remote apps and remote desktop ) added to HAP+ , so a user clicks them they can run the RDP , Prompts for username and password once ( doesnt require a domain name to be inserted ) and it logs them onto a session host.

 

Looks like my work is now done .
