Deploy a Shortcut for RDS using Company Portal

Hi,

Is it possible to deploy a shortcut to a remote desktop connection using Company portal to machines enrolled in MDM? 

 

  • Hi Michael, You could point them to a RDS website by using the app type "Web link". This would give you a Company Portal link to your RDS website. This can even be shown as features app on the main page. But a way to publish a real shortcut which then opens the RDP connection directly is not available. best, Oliver

      Hi Oliver.
      Sounds Cool. I will look into the Weblink approach.
      Thanks:)

        Okay not the best experience but maybe something you like to have anyway. I targeted it to "All Users" with assignment of "Available with or without enrollment" and got the link as featured app. but the link still shows install, after clicking install it installs the web link to the start menu where you can click and open the website...

         

         

         

        So try the different assignment and make sure you target it to users.

         

        best,

        Oliver
