Windows 2008 Published Application issue caused by UAC?

[Guest slj333]

We recently upgraded to our GL application (Microsoft Navision), and the

application is being run from a Windows 2008 terminal server environment.

 

When my users try to update an existing excel worksheet from the published

application, the process runs, and then just stalls without completing (no

error message).

 

However, if I allow them to log in to the Remote Desktop of the Windows 2008

Terminal server, and run Nav within that environment, the process completes.

 

My first inclincation is to disable UAC, but I like the idea of keeping that

feature if possible.

 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

 

thanks,

Steve

It could be that navivision requires explorer.exe to be running (the

first instance of explorer.exe is the actual desktop). Since that is

not running in the remoteapp environment, it may be having issues. I

would contact Microsoft on this.
