Hi Fiza, Apologies on the delay, glad you got it back up and running. For my issue I found that I needed to add a command line parameter for the Pulsar.exe into the RDP settings: Always user the following command-line parameters "C:\Program Files (x86)\SIMS\SIMS.net\Pulsar.exe" Ive never used the Exams part of sims sorry. Thanks Ash

Thanks Jim/Matt, Im currently in the testing phase of deployment internally, connecting via https:\\localhost\rdweb or https:\\(my server)\rdweb which i can log in fine, I've published adobe reader, calculator, paint, word, excel etc and all of these work fine its only sims that crashes. When i open sims via the published standard shortcut the server manager / rdp console offers you, or via selecting simsload.exe or pulsar.exe (I've added all 3 to the rdweb page) the window opens i can see the start of the windows login page for server 2012 it gets to loading settings the same as the other published apps then the window just closes and sims does not load. Ive removed all logon scripts / profiles, created a new domain admin in an ou with group policy inheritance blocked and moved the server to an ou with group policy inheritance blocked in case it was a problem with the account loading but this makes no difference. The event viewer id's i receive on the server are: event id 9009 desktop window manager the desktop windows manager has exited with code (0xd00002fe) I've had a look online and a lot of citrix users have come across the same problem with a fix relating to the setting of maximum colour depth but this is not relevant in this scenario. There is a 2nd error that appears each time in the rdp console but i don't have it to hand which details a delay occurred contacting the primarydc.mydomain.com the same again as above from research a lot of forum posts but not a resolution il follow up with the event id. Just seems strange that sims opens and runs fine on the server itself. Thanks Ash

Hi, Apologies if this should be in an RDP Remote APP Forum rather than MIS Ive just setup a 2012 R2 server with RDP Connection Broker, Session Host and RD Web Access roles installed. Im only testing internally to start off with but looking to deploy sims via RDP Remote App. Ive installed SIMS to the RDP Server, published the app and logged in via the web portal. I get all the way to the point of sims loading (press the details button I can see the session starting logging into the user account) then the window closes and sims does not open. Sims loads directly on the server fine, I have published Adobe Reader, Calculator and Paint to RD Web Access and these all work fine. I have checked the allow command prompt settings in the Remote Applications Properties page. Has anyone come across this or have any recommendations? This type of setup is in a couple of other schools that I know of. Thanks

Morning, Apologies if this question has been asked before I had a hunt through previous threads but could not find a related post. With a Mac Mini Server running Apple Configurator I have 60+ ipads that are currently supervised and running fine, the only issue I have run into so far is that when plugging the devices into a windows laptop I am unable to retrieve photos / videos on the devices. As you can imagine this is extremely frustrating for staff and students when wanting to quickly pull off the photo / video they have just made. I can understand the reasons for security to lock them in supervised mode but with the school only having the one mac osx device it will be difficult to have this accessible for a user to plug in and retrieve there media. I've played with the idea of setting up mapped drives to the mac server and trying to auto import photos using iPhoto to shared folders on the mac server but with the users trawling through hundreds of photos and the mac mini hard drives running out of space very quickly I can see this as a non starter. Any recommendations would be gratefully appreciated! Thanks Ash
