Window Pop Ups Over a Remote Desktop Fullscreen Possible?

[Guest Lavarinth]

Hi, I work in a company where all work is done over remote desktop

connections to the server. Is it possible, while in full screen, to allow

window pop ups to occur over the full screen?

 

We recently installed a LAN messenger program to interact with other

clients, and we're having difficulties since someone will not see the new

message received via the new pop-up window since it wont appear over the

fullscreen of remote desktops.

 

If it's not maximized it works fine, however requires scrolling in the

desktop. Also, it appears some computers react to setting remote desktop to a

lower priority and the messenger to a higher priority, but other computers

will not react properly to this and still not allow pop-ups over the full

screen.

 

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

As far as I know there is no way to configure such a system behaviour out of

the box. However, there are third party products from vendors, such as RES,

that provide functionality allowing to embed local applications into a

remote desktop. They do this by controlling the local desktop and the z

order of its windows in a more extended way than the default window manager

does it. In the TS community this is sometimes referred to as "reversed

published applications", in particular when discussing VDI environments.
