Start OneDrive when using a RemoteApp in WVD
We are in the process of documenting how to auto-start OneDrive in a Remote App scenario.
We will be documenting the following registry entry:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\RailRunonce
I believe this works the same as the regular run keys, except that anything listed under this key will be launched when the remote session starts.
What happens is that in a remote session, Explorer.exe is not used as the Windows shell. rdpshell.exe is run instead. rdpshell.exe does not process Run entries. It does do the RailRunonce key though.
bnicholson80 Are you sure you didnt do anything else in this process? I've been struggling with this problem for a while, feel i have tried everything, including now your solution. Still 5 min on first login, 20-sek on logins after that. 😞 And OneDrive does not work on first login.
Mtollex70 Hi, I tried the deletion of run keys in the default user hive and works for me. I deleted entries for Run and RunOnce though as there was another OneDrive entry in there. I will test and see if I need to delete both.
One thing to note, if you delete the reg keys above, and you also use the host pool for a desktop, you may need to use a GPO to launch OneDrive for normal logons..
adam222 Yes, i moved the "OneDriveSetup=C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\OneDriveSetup.exe /thfirstsetup" from the Run key of the default user profile to the RailRunonce key in GPO instead. But i suspect its enough to just remove it, and not set it in RailRunonce. I had no time yesterday to check this, but will now. 🙂 Thanx for your reply!
