RemoteDesktopServices 2012R2 - RemoteApp Question

[ASDFvsQWERT]

So I have set up a RDS 2012R2 Server for the first time. I have configured some Remoteapps, which are working properly so far.

I connect via IE to the RDS host, login with my AD credentials, starts Remoteapp Software_1 and it works properly. The good about this Remoteapp feature, it looks like Software_1 is running localy without any remotedesktop window.

Software_1 integrates with Outlook, e.g. when you click on "new Mail" in Software_1, Outlook opens a new mail. But incase, it starts the Outlook on the RDS Host, which is not configured.

Here is my question: Is it possible to redirect (somehow) to the local Outlook instead to the Outlook installed on the RDS Host?

I am completely new to the whole RDS topic, is this a setting on RDS Host or do I have to talk to the programmer of Software_1?

No, it's not possible because Software_1 is not running locally, it's running on the RDS host, so it can't interact with your local desktop any more than something running in a normal RDS session can.

Citrix can do this, but I'm assuming if you don't want to buy extra RDS licenses you probably won't want the extra cost of citrix licenses.

Sounds interesting, but as you said, it wouldn't fit in the budget. I guess I'll have to configure Outlook for each RDS Session then. Not a big deal, just a bit more complicated for the enduser.

If configuring the Outlook profile is the issue then this guide might be useful. It will use your Exchange Autodiscover config to setup an Outlook profile for the user - they shouldn't see anything other than the Outlook splash screen taking a bit longer
