If you are trying to launch using the Remote App, you will need AD and
publish to RDP.

However you can set a script in GPO to execute and launch your site (or any
application) using wscript/batch or powershell upon login.

Same can be done in Linux.

 

Hope this helps 

 

The Remote App should be universal; however, it is tailored to Windows
Domain controller.

Subject: RDP Configuration to auto-launch web browser to URL

 

I've been trying for a little bit now to configure a RDP connection that
will auto-launch a web browser (in my example Edge) and have that browser
open to a URL of my choosing. This URL could be different based on needs,
and simply setting the homepage is not sufficient.

 

Edge (and most other browsers) will accept a CLI argument of the URL to
navigate to, and this works perfectly fine when testing on the target
machine via command prompt. However, when I try entering that value into the
"initial-program" field in the connection, it fails to launch the browser at
all. I've seen this behavior with the initial-program argument on Windows
10, Windows Server, and Ubuntu with XRDP servers (with Firefox as the
browser). I've also tried with Windows Terminal Services and publishing Edge
as a RemoteApp. I set the RemoteApp to "||msedge" and trying to put a URL in
the RemoteApp parameters field does not work. The browser also fails to
launch.

 

Has anyone successfully configured something like this? I would love to see
a working example.

 

I have validated this behavior with several versions from 1.0 all the way up
to 1.4. It seems to be consistent across several versions of guacamole.
