Publish Remote Apps and Desktop Session at the same time

,

I was recently building a PoC Lab environment for a client where I only had a couple of virtual machines to play with to build a Remote Desktop Services environment to host a line of business application. I needed to be able to publish the application as a Remote App as well as have a virtual desktop. This is usually straight forward if you have multiple session hosts however requires a registry change if you have limited resources.

On the connection broker fire up Registry Editor and go to the following location under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\CentralPublishedResources\PublishedFarms\CollectionName\RemoteDesktops\CollectionName

Where CollectionName is the name of the RD Session group. Find the ShowInPortal DWORD and change it to 1.

You’ll then see it appear in the RDWeb and Web Client if you’re running that (similar to what I have below…).

Nice and easy and hope that helps.
