Access network file using app tunnel

We are using APM app tunnel to launch Remote Desktop session instead of using the in built function. This is preferred because of additional options the program has.

 

Are ideal scenario is that it launches the RDP client and launches the connection to the server. Ideally I want to access a preconfigured rdp file on the network. What I can't workout is how I can access the file. I've not been able to create a resource to open a UNC path. Is it possible to create something like UNC or something similar?

 

Thanks

    Hi Chris,

     

    i've been able to test it on windows client with following config points : - application path C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe - parameters \172.16.20.200\tmp\default.rdp with 172.16.20.200 being a machine acceded through the vpn.

     

    Make sure to verify if option "Client for Microsoft Networks" is enabled in network settings.

    Hi Arnaud

     

    Thanks for the suggestion. I will have a look at the network access option as well as the portal access.
