I work at a community college where we are converting and testing the labs for our Windows server classes to Windows Server 2016. We are experiencing a problem with one of our labs that we are testing using Windows Server 2016. We want to use the server
as an application server using the Remote Desktop Session Host feature, i.e. a direct RDP session to the application server -- no browser. When setting up an application on a user's property sheet (see graphic below) where the user connects to the Remote Desktop Session Host Server; the application set in the Environment
tab does not open. The user goes to the desktop, which is not how the lab is supposed to work.
The way that this lab should work is that the user logs on and the application opens to a full screen. When the user is done and exits the application, the user is immediately disconnected from the Remote Desktop Session. The user should never be able to access
the Application Server's desktop. This is how this lab has worked with Windows Server 2008 through Windows Server 2012 R2.
If we use the Remote Desktop Web Access the lab works as intended and the same as it has with pre-Server 2016 operating systems. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a fix for this other than to use the Remote Desktop Web Access?
