I have a test RD Services environment setup that consists of one server running RD Session Host and another server running RD Gateway and RD Web Access. I'm using a Windows 7 client and have configured the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections in the Control Panel to point to the public URL of the RD Web Access/RD Gateway server. I have DNS configure to reolve the name for both internal and external access. Everything seems to work fine except 2 items.
First, I can launch RemoteApps and the Desktop internally from the Windows Start Menu without any problems. However externally I can only launch RemoteApps. I cannot get the desktop to work. When I click on it, I get prompted to enter credentials, same as the RemoteApps, but after entering credentials nothing happens. So i'm a little lost as to why RemoteApps work but Remote Desktop doesn't.
Second, as mentioned above when launching the apps remotely, I'm prompted for credentials. Is this normal when accessing the apps externally? SSO works fine internally. If this is normal behavior that's okay. I just wanted to know what to expect when connecting from outside the network.
Thanks for your help!
