Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services - set shell working directo

[Guest o2c4u]

All,

I have set up a test Windows Server 2008 Enterprise W/ SP1, my RemoteApp

Programs needs to have a specific Shell Working Directory. How do I set this

on the TS Application?

 

Thanks.

You can use custom RDP settings to configure the working directory for

RemoteApp programs. By default, the working directory for a RemoteApp

program is the same location as the program executable file. If you

configure the working directory as a custom RDP setting, the setting will

apply to all RemoteApp programs that are available through TS Web Access,

and to any .rdp files or Windows Installer packages that you create from a

RemoteApp program. If you want to customize the working directory for

RemoteApp programs that you plan to distribute as .rdp files or Windows

Installer packages, you can add the working directory as a custom RDP

setting, create the files from the RemoteApp programs, and then clear the

working directory custom RDP setting.

 

To specify custom RDP settings

1. In the Overview pane of TS RemoteApp Manager, next to RDP Settings,

click Change.

2. On the Custom RDP Settings tab, type or copy the custom RDP settings

that you want to use into the Custom RDP settings box.

To copy settings from an existing .rdp file, open the file in a text

editor such as Notepad, and then copy the desired settings.

Important: You cannot override settings that are available in the

global deployment settings in TS RemoteApp Manager. If you do so, you will

be prompted to remove those settings when you click Apply.

To create an .rdp file to copy the settings from, follow these steps:

1. Open the RDC client, and then click Options.

2. Configure the settings that you want, such as audio redirection.

3. When you are finished, on the General tab, click Save As, and then

save the .rdp file.

4. Open the .rdp file in Notepad, and then copy the desired settings

into the Custom RDP settings box on the Custom RDP Settings tab.

3. When you have finished adding the settings that you want, click Apply.

4. If the Error with Custom RDP Settings dialog box appears, do the

following:

1. Click Remove to automatically remove the settings that are either

not valid or cannot be overridden, or click OK to remove the settings

manually.

2. After the settings are removed, click Apply again.

5. To close the RemoteApp Deployment Settings dialog box, click OK.
