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

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.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, that article specifically states Windows 11 as a requirement. Setting that registry value has no effect on a Windows Server 2019 session host. The OneDrive process is not started after launching a remoteApp.

For Windows 11 AVD it only works with the preview version, so useless in production. I'm using the railrunonce workaround there as well.
