Hello,

the system can't find any RemoteApps, if I connect the access to remoteapp and desktops. The Problem exists only for some Users. The privileges are clean.

    Hi Markus,

    Since only some users are affected, I'd first check whether the issue is on the server side or just with the RemoteApp feed.

    1. Have an affected user sign in to RD Web Access using the same account.
    2. If the RemoteApps appear in RD Web but not in RemoteApp & Desktop Connections, remove and re-add the workspace/feed.
    3. If the RemoteApps are also missing in RD Web, verify user assignments:
      • Check the collections permissions by going to Server Manager → Remote Desktop Services → Collections → <Collection Name> → Tasks → Edit Properties → User Groups and confirm if the affected user or their AD group is listed.
      • Check RemoteApp-specific permissions by going to Server Manager → Remote Desktop Services → Collections → RemoteApp Programs → Right-click the affected RemoteApp → Edit Properties → User Assignment and confirm if the affected user or group is assigned to that RemoteApp. A user can have access to the collection but still be excluded from a specific RemoteApp. then Refresh membership If you make any changes, have the user sign out completely and sign back in before testing again.
