Connecting to an application

First, you need to open the landing page of Workspace - http(s)://ThinfintyURL:Port

Then click on the “New Profile” icon of the landing page

Then select the “Application” type of connection, and click on next

Select “RemoteApp”

Now choose between making the connection to the current pc where you’re working, or to another terminal

After that we need to set the virtual path of the application you want to connect

Now choose the authentication method

And at last, the name and the icon of the application you’re going to use

You can now run the application by starting the newly created connection

If you start multiple RemoteApps, you’ll find a dock menu at the bottom of the browser screen, this allows you to toggle between different applications of the same connection.

You can also resize the App’s windows and be able to see more than one at the same time.

You can also pin this menu to be always on top or unpin it to automatically hide it.

If you get an access denied error, you would need to enable a group policy to allow unlisted programs to be started. To this end, open the ‘Group Policy Editor’ by going to ‘Start > Run > gpedit.msc’:

On the ‘Group Policy Editor’ navigate to:

‘Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections > Allow users to connect remotely by using Remote Desktop Services’

Double click on this policy and then click on the check-box next to ‘Enabled’:

Afterwards, you’ll have to update the group policies. In order to do this, call ‘gpupdate /force’ from a ‘Command Prompt’ window elevated as an Administrator:

If you want to give your users quick access to your applications, you can create a desktop shortcut to the URL of VirtualUI with the Virtual Path of the application. Here’s an example:

To ensure these changes are applied, you can go to ‘Start > Run > services.msc’ and restart the ‘Thinfinity Service Manager’:
