    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 I am having the same problem. First login hangs on preparing Windows for 5 or so minutes. When RemoteApp opens, OneDrive is not configured. But on subsequent logons, it's there.

 

I can see in task manager that the renounce.exe is running for the user. I'd I kill renounce.exe in those 5 minutes while it's "preparing windows" it logs on successfully straight away.

 

I cannot work out why the runonce task is holding the login...

 

Any thoughts?
