If you are using the RemoteApp RDWeb Access website feature (RDweb) in Windows Server 2008 R2 and have client\/user PCs that have upgraded to Windows 10, read below.\u00a0This does not apply if you are using full RDP desktop sessions to login and see a desktop which is what many\/most people do –\u00a0i.e. using RDP client to connect to a desktop session.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If users are accessing applications using the RD Web access website (i.e. https:\/\/IP or\u00a0Hostname\/rdweb\u00a0<\/span>) to access applications instead of logging into the server via the remote desktop connection client, you will notice that the website doesn\u2019t work from Windows 10 PCs using the new Microsoft Edge browser.\u00a0 RemoteApp RDWEB hosted on a Windows 2008 R2 Server requires the client browser to have ActiveX enabled which basically limits usage to Internet Explorer (doesn\u2019t work on Chrome, Firefox nor for MAC users).\u00a0 (Note: Windows Server 2012R2 RemoteApp RDWEB no longer requires ActiveX).<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

The good news in this situation is Windows 10 still includes Internet Explorer and if you open the website using IE, you should be able to access it – see steps below.\u00a0 In Windows 10, open IE separately and not within Edge (i.e. in Edge, you can click tools, and then say \u201copen in IE\u201d but don\u2019t do it this way).\u00a0 Follow the steps below to open IE, add rdweb URL to trusted sites in IE, then close IE and reopen IE, then it should work.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. CLICK START BUTTON and start typing \u201cInternet Explorer\u201d which should pop-up in search results and select \u2013 see screenshot below.\u00a0 Don\u2019t click the browser shortcut in taskbar because that will just open Edge.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2.\u00a0 After IE opens, go to the url you use for RDweb.\u00a0 Click Allow on popup to allow MS RDS web access \u2013 see screenshot.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    3.\u00a0 Do not login yet \u2013 first we need to add to trusted sites in Internet Explorer (only need to do first time), then will need to exit all IE windows and start again.<\/p>\n

    4.\u00a0 Under the tools icon, click internet options like this, which will open the Option windows, then go to Security Tab, Trusted Sites (the green checkbox), then click on the \u201cSites\u201d button and then add the url which may be pre-populated \u2013 see screenshots.<\/p>\n

    \"TrustedSites\"<\/p>\n

    5.\u00a0 Next, close all Internet Explorer windows and start over except this time login to the RDS site.<\/p>\n
