Windows 8.1 RemoteApp stuck on preparing windows

We had a issue with a new Windows 8.1 install, when the user login to the RemoteApp Web Access Portal, and opened a Remoteapp, it´s just stuck on “Preparing Windows”, the same thing happens if i used the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections from the control panel.

To fix it i added the RD Web Access url to trusted sites in Internet Explorer.

example: *rds.company.com

Java application blocked for security

To fix this Java issue you have to lower the security 🙁

Go to
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\lib\security”

open the file “java.security”

Look for this line
jdk.certpath.disabledAlgorithms=MD2, RSA keySize < 1024

Change 1024 to 256 and save.

That worked for me.

Adobe Reader XI – An internal error occurred

I installed Adobe Reader XI on our Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS servers, and we start to get this error when we started Adobe Reader.

After some time on Google i found out that disabling Adobe Reader XI sandbox protection mode fixed the error.

go to the registry and find this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\11.0\FeatureLockDown

Create a new REG_DWORD

Value Name
bProtectedMode

Value Data
0
