Hi everyone. I want to test RDS on Server 2012 R2 and have the server ready but can't figure out how to setup Tessitura as a RemoteApp. I've done this on 2008 R2 but it's different with 2012 R2.
In Server 2012 I got into Server Manager > Remote Desktop Services > Collections > My Collection (which is named RDS 2012R2) and under REMOTEAPP PROGRAMS I choose to "Publish Remote Programs". I click Add, just like I would in 2008 R2,
Now we're doing things a little weird, so to speak, in order to have Tessitura run as a RemoteApp. We use Kix scripts to launch Tessitura, so in the "Select RemoteApp programs" window I click Add, browse to the wkix32.exe file and click Next.
Now at this point in 2008 R2 I can edit the wkix32.exe RemoteApp so that it will say it's actually Tessitura, I can change the icon to the Tessitura icon, I can change the alias so that it runs the Kix script that has the same name, etc. However, I can't figure out how to do this in 2012 R2 RDS.
So for those of you using Tessitura via 2012 R2 RDS, how are you configuring it as a RemoteApp? I don't care if we have to do something completely different so long as it works.
Hi Jon,
We have used .net to create windows application that just runs a batch file with Tessitura settings.
Kind regards,

We figured it out. Here's a sample of the command we used to create the Tessitura remoteapp:
New-RDRemoteApp -CollectionName RDS2012R2 -Alias tessprod -DisplayName "Tessitura Live" -CommandLineSetting C:\tessbat\Tessitura_Live_Start.kxs ShowInWebAccess 1 -FilePath C:\tessbat\wkix32.exe -iconPath \\<tess_server_name>\<tessitura_directory>\Startup\imp.ico -ConnectionBroker <server.domain.com>
