Hello everybody,

I'm having a small issue and i don't know if this is solvable in RDS. I'm assigned to setup a high-available RDS environment in server 2012. This environment will serve around 150 people and will contain several applications.

Now the problem i am having is the following, i have created several collections each containing several session hosts. Each collection hosts different applications. These are split up because of compatibility issues or for security purposes. However some users need to be able to access applications hosted on different collections at the same time. The applications are published to the clients using an RDS connection URL to the connection broker implemented in the control panel setting. All applications from the different collections are published in the start menu of the client.

This is were the problem starts. When a users as an active session to collection A and needs to starts an application on collection B, an error pops up saying that the program is not listed in the list of authorized programs. I assume this is because it wants to start up the application on the session host that is currently hosting the session.

Is this solvable that the connection broker opens a second session to another session host?

Thanks for looking into this matter!

Thank you Travis, indeed the client was still using an older RDP client version. upgraded to the latest version and this was fixed.

This means that there is no solution for this in Windows XP as it is not compatible with RDP protocol 8.0?

However thank you for your answer.

Unfortunately, you are correct; there is no current solution that I am aware of for Windows XP. You can try engaging with Microsoft Support to get a fix ported down to Windows XP.
