RemoteApplication

[administrator]

It is possible to have a remote connection to just an application on a remote server.
So a user does not need to have a remote desktop session to a server.
To make this possible take these steps:

1. We need to allow any unlisted programs to start from RDP.
2. Save the script below on your desktop, the extension must end with .reg.

3. Code: Select all

   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
   
       [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\TSAppAllowList]
       "fDisabledAllowList"=dword:00000001

4. Double click on the file to add the registry
5. Create a RDP file to the server, add the credentials of the user that has the right permissions on the server.
6. Modifying our .rdp file. by clciking on it with the right mouse button and open in a text editor.
7. Add these lines at the bottom of the file:

8. Code: Select all

   remoteapplicationmode:i:1
   remoteapplicationname:s:This will be the optional description of the app
   remoteapplicationprogram:s:Relative or absolute path to the app
                              (Example: taskmgr or C:\Windows\system32\taskmgr.exe)
   remoteapplicationcmdline:s:Here you'd put any optional application parameters

9. Example:

   Code: Select all

   remoteapplicationmode:i:1
   remoteapplicationname:s:
   remoteapplicationprogram:s:%windir%\system32\notepad.exe
   remoteapplicationcmdline:s:

10. Now you can use your RemoteApp without any issues as if it was running on your local machine
