[msft.sme.remote-desktop v4.30.2] RDP extension fails to load in WAC 2.4.1

Description

Product: Windows Admin Center v2.4.1

Extension: Connect to a server or PC via Remote Desktop

• ID: msft.sme.remote-desktop
• Version: 4.30.2
• Authors: Microsoft
• License: MIT

Issue:

When attempting to launch the Remote Desktop extension, the UI never renders (infinite spinner) and the browser console reports:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<'

In addition, certain .js module requests return HTTP 403, and the loader falls back to “null” instead of the correct main.<hash>.js.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install or enable the msft.sme.remote-desktop extension (v4.30.2) on WAC 2.4.1.
2. Open WAC in a modern browser and navigate to Remote Desktop.
3. Press F12 → Console and Network tabs.
4. Observe:
   • The <base href="/modules/msft.sme.remote-desktop/"> page loads, but subsequent scripts (main.<hash>.js) resolve to “null” or return 403.
   • Console errors

   • Unexpected token '<'

5. Remote Desktop never initializes.

Expected Behavior:

The RDP extension UI should load normally, register its translation tables, and allow launching a remote session without syntax or module‐loading errors.

Impact:

Cannot use the built-in Remote Desktop tool within Windows Admin Center.

Work-around: deinstalling the remote desktop v4.30.2 and reinstalling the old version v4.26.0 until the problem is resolved in the newer version
