Terminal Service / Remote Desktop access to Windows Applications from Linux

Introduction

• To access the Windows Terminal Server "Full Desktop Experience" from Linux, type the command in a terminal window:

  winapp2

  For more information, please see Accessing WinApp2 on Linux
• To access the Windows Terminal Server from MacOS, send a request to service-classe@cornell.edu
• To access the Windows Terminal Server from Windows, see Centralized Windows Applications

This Windows Remote Desktop Server (WinApp2) also can be used to provide somewhat limited Windows 10 desktops to several people at a time.

CLASSE currently provides only a limited selection of remote applications which can be run individually from your own desktop. You can submit a Service Request for other applications to be considered. The currently available applications are listed below.

Notes and Known Limitations

• Closing the xfreerdp window does not log you out. Please log out via the start menu when you are done.
• You do not get system tray notifications from xfreerdp - this seems to be a limitation in the xfreerdp Linux client.

Visio specific Known Issues

• Visio may ask you to set Update Settings. Select "do not change settings" and click OK.
