So what do I mean when I say that default connections are able to install file type associations? When an administrator is publishing RemoteApp programs, they can also choose to publish file types that should be associated with that program. That means, if you want to push a RemoteApp and Desktop Connection to end-users running Windows 7 PCs, you must continue to use the script-based approach.įile type associations support: what does it mean? One more note about default connections: they are unfortunately not supported on pre-Windows 8 clients. Support for file type associations is a somewhat deep subject, so I’ll spend the rest of this post talking about it in more detail. The only way to remove them is by changing the Group Policy setting.ĭefault connections are able to install file type associations. On a given machine, a user can only have one default connection.ĭefault connections cannot be removed by using the Control Panel UI (the “remove” button does not exist for default connections). There are a few differences between default connections and ordinary connections:
RemoteApp and Desktop Connections that have been installed by using this policy setting have a special name: default connections. We have added a new Group Policy container under “Remote Desktop Services” called “RemoteApp and Desktop Connections,” and within that container have defined a new policy setting called “Specify default connection URL.” Enabling this policy setting causes users to be subscribed to RemoteApp and Desktop Connection at the specified URL. In Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8, we improved this scenario. Administrators had to push something like To help enable this, we supported a “silent install” API that allowed a user to be signed up for a connection without any prompts. When we added the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections feature in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7, many administrators wanted to be able to push connections to their users by using Group Policy. Today I’d like to talk about a few improvements that we made to the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections feature in Windows Server 2012: support for default connections and file type associations.
