Warnings in Remoteapp for Windows Server 2008 R2

I have configured Remoteapp in windows server 2008 and have it working. I chose the option to deploy the link via an MSI and then ran that MSI on a domain-joined machine.  I get several warnings before opening up the application as shown in the screen shot below:
1. When I first click on the icon, I get the warning stating that the publisher cannot be identified.
2. When I click past #1, I get the prompt for credentials.
3. When I click pass that, I get another warning about verifying the identity of the remote computer.

I want to make sure that none of these ever show up for my organization. The goal is that they click the icon on the desktop and the remote application just opens as would an application installed on the local machine. Having them click past these once or enter credentials once and then using the "never show this again" check box is not an option due to the number of help desk calls it will generate. Also, I can't purchase an additional certificates though I could use one created by my own internal certification authority if that is required.

Can someone please tell me with some step by step instructions to get around this?

Thanks!

I don't know about the credentials but the remote desktop warning seems to be as a result of (this is me thinking) ie8.

All you do is check the box to NOT show the warnings again.

As for the login prompt, how did you set up iis, it seems that you set it with integrated windows authentication.

You may change it to annoymous.

You may also go to internet options, security tab and intranet under Use Credentials and choose the auto logon option.
Here is something else you can try.

Assuming that you are on a domain you can install certificates on the terminal servers using self-signed certificates
