All,
I have a domain that we have migrated from SBS to a new, full AD domain. One of the features of SBS that they rely on heavily and really like is the Anywhere Access, specifically the website that they can log in to and then connect through RDP to their systems. This functionality as it exists in SBS or now Windows Server 2012 Essentials is not available in the same form in Windows Server 2012 Standard/Datacenter. The only option we have is to implement Remote Desktop Services which I have done. I now have two options. 1. I can go to the RDWeb site and then select Connect to another PC and it allows me to type in a system name. This is not an option for us because of the horrible Unknown Publisher security prompt that the users are confronted with each and every time they try to use the system. There is not way around this as the RDP file is being generated on the fly by the clients system and is there for unknown and not trusted. 2. I thought I could create a RemoteApp and publish RDP which is in fact one of the options and does not have such a panic inducing security dialog but rather an information make sure you trust the system type of message. The problem with this scenario is that it does not prompt me for what system to connect to and by default just connects me to the RD Gateway server. I know I can edit the deployment properties and use the /v: switch to specify a system name but I do not want to manage each and every users system and name so that they can connect.
So, after that long winded explanation, the question is, How do I publish RDP as a RemoteApp in RDS 2012 R2 that allows the user to put in any system name that they would like to connect to?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
