Rename .rdp filename before it downloads from RDWeb
When we download published applications and desktops from our remote desktop servers' RDWeb, names are like "cpub-<appli>-<collection>-CmsRdsh.rdp".
Is there a way to change this default download name only to "<appli>-<collection>.rdp" (with powershell for exemple) ?
Thanks,
Joe
- Ran into this and opened a ticket with Microsoft, just got it resolved with this.
SharePoint 2019 - new farm March 2022 CU.
We couldn't get emails to work. We could Telnet email, and could PowerShell emails. However Alert-Me - didn't work; SharePoint 2010 / 2013 emails didn't work. We then ran this and checked, it said that Outbound Email was using SSL - yes - HOWEVER it should NOT be enabled. So we then set it to False and checked and emails all worked in alerts and in SP2010 and SP2013 workflows!
PS C:\Users\Service.spfarm> $webapp=get-spwebapplication "https://DNSName-notServerName"
PS C:\Users\Service.spfarm> $webapp.OutboundMailEnableSSL
True
PS C:\Users\Service.spfarm> $webapp.OutboundMailEnableSSL =$false
PS C:\Users\Service.spsfarm> $webapp.update()
PS C:\Users\Service.spfarm> $webapp.OutboundMailEnableSSL
False
PS C:\Users\Service.spfarm>
Run these to use the DNS name of your farm https://SharePointFarmNameHere (NOT the FQDN or NETBIOS name of your server - SPFarm2019-0) (NO!)
$webapp=get-spwebapplication "https://DNSName-notServerName"
$webapp.OutboundMailEnableSSL
That will tell you TRUE or FALSE.
To change it to false (to change it to true, change $false to $true)
$webapp.OutboundMailEnableSsl =$false
Then update it:
$webapp.update()
Then check the value, hopefully (IF YOU WANT IT TO BE FALSE) it should be T or F.
$webapp.OutboundMailEnableSSL

Joe Rainero: Which OS are users connecting from? There should be no need to work with RDP files. On Windows 10 remote app can be pinned conveniently and show as well in the start menu. Share your feature suggestion here on https://aka.ms/wvdfbk
- Joe RaineroCopper ContributorWe are also publishing the entire desktop, not just remote apps.

Joe Rainero : Full desktop will show as well in the apps list in the start menu. See documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/connect-windows-7-and-10
- Joe RaineroCopper ContributorMost use Windows 10. Some use Mac Catalina. Others use iOS.

Joe Rainero : Can you explain why you have the need to rename the RDPfiles?
- Joe RaineroCopper ContributorYes. We want to rename them because they come down to the end user's computer named something like cpub-xxxx-xxxx ("cpub-<appli>-<collection>-CmsRdsh.rdp) and we would like for them to simply be named client.rdp or something like that. Does this make sense? When this long filename is saved to the desktop, the name wraps and almost nothing shows except for cpub- which makes no sense to the end users. We want the end users to be able to understand by reading the name of the file.
