Description

The Set-RDRemoteApp cmdlet modifies configuration settings for a Windows Server 2012 RemoteApp program that runs in a Remote Desktop deployment.

RemoteApp allows Remote Desktop Services (RDS) to run a program remotely that appears as if it runs locally on a client computer. A RemoteApp program runs in its own resizable window and has its own entry on the taskbar.

Examples

Example 1: Modify settings for a RemoteApp program

PS C:\> Set-RDRemoteApp -CollectionName "Virtual Desktop Collection" -Alias "IE" -VirtualDesktopName "RDS-WKS-A27" -FolderName "Websites" -CommandLineSetting Require -RequiredCommandLine "http://www.bing.com"

This command modifies settings for a RemoteApp program in the collection named Virtual Desktop Collection. The command specifies IE as an alias, and specifies Websites as the folder where the RemoteApp program appears. The command specifies the virtual desktop name RDS-WKS-A27. This command uses a required command line argument. This RemoteApp opens the specified browser to go to the specified URL.

Example 2: Modify user and group settings for a RemoteApp program

PS C:\> Set-RDRemoteApp -CollectionName "Session Collection" -Alias "Notepad" -FolderName "Admin Tools" -UserGroups @("contoso\Domain Admins")

This command modifies settings for a RemoteApp program in the collection named Session Collection. The command specifies Notepad as an alias for the program, and specifies the Admin Tools as the folder where this RemoteApp program appears. The command also specifies the users and groups that can see the program.
