What about setting up the application on the Startup folder of the user? 0

Maybe you're approaching the solution wrong. I'm assuming this is a terminal server using RDS? What is the program? Would you fare better with supporting something like virtualized apps using RemoteApp? 0

Hi Dbeato, yes it could work if I place a shortucut to the program I would like to start in: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup but... when the user close program, he still continue to see desktop, and he has to logout manually. 0

Hi Brandon, yes this is a windows 2016 server with rds services
enabled. Clients are win7/10. Program is a financial software used in
this company. Software is not a problem. This issue happens also if I
setup rdp client to use Notepad C:\windows\notepad.exe 0

Before you beginComplete these steps as they apply to your remote application configuration:
Note: For instructions on any of these remote desktop operations, see the documentation for your remote desktop server. In Enterprise Application Access (EAA), you can create a remote desktop application and configure the RDP application with settings that define how end users interact with the remote application environment. After you deploy a remote desktop application, end users can access the deployed application with the specified external hostname. |
