asked on

using windows remoteapp without exposing remote desktop admin screen

Hello,

I have a remoteapp server using server 2008 R2 that is running fine.  However if you use remote desktops and go to the IP address the windows server login page will display.  How can I run remoteapp without having the server login page of the server being exposed to the outside world?

Thank you

No way to do this. Because remoteapp is built upon RDP, enabling one inherently enables the other. Microsoft has not defined any security policies to filter connections and allow one and prevent the other.

I'm curious why y'all want to do this. RemoteApp isn't a security boundary and can never effectively be used as one. It is a user interface convenience (and a good one) so I'm not sure what attempting to block traditional RDP accomplishes?
