I have an application shortcut (.lnk) icon, on the desktop of a MS 2012 R2 server, that links to an application on another server. The MS 2012 R2 server is part of an RDS server farm. I wish to create a "remoteapp" in the collection that can be accessed via the RDS Web Access site.
The application works fine if I logon to the server and launch it from the desktop. It doesn't work when I try and create a "remoteapp" in the collection of the RDS farm. Any ideas on how I can solve this issue?
Thank you in advance for your attention to this issue!

You can't publish just a url, you publish the browser with whatever command line switch opens the page you want. Like iexplore.exe "http://google.com"
if you have Remote Desktop Session Host on server 1 and 2 you can't add an app from Server 3
unless Remote Desktop Session Host is/ installed on server 3

I know some online have the same issue and have received some technical responses as to how this may be accomplished. Maybe someone with a bit more knowledge of RDS 2012 R2 can take a stab at this.
Thanks.
Thanks.
