I had a bright idea earlier to install the remote desktop gateway on Windows 2016. But it doesn't appear that the web UI is accessible. Jaws simply can't read anything in that interface. Has anyone encountered this?
Hi, The web interface itself is unusable as it doesn't send the channel data that JFW needs but I think you can access a standard RDP session via the gateway using the Remote Desktop client although I have never done it myself.

I thought that there was work done in Jaws to support this client?
I managed to get the HTML5 interface installed in Windows 2016. By default it doesn't come with this.
Still having problems getting servers to display though so I haven't been able to test this properly yet.

Hi, Darragh,
The RDP client that JAWS supports for Windows Virtual Desktops is at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/connect-windows-7-and....
It's a WPF app. It works both with Microsoft's version of seamless apps (I forgot the naming they use) and also with a full remote desktop connection. You obviously need JAWS on the server as well.
If you have problems, we're interested in knowing since this was tested extensively.

Thanks Glenn,
I will be looking into azure Windows desktops in the new year so this is nice to have stored away.

Hi,
I really don't think it will work, but you can as I say use the regular RDP client from outside through the RDP gateway tunnelling the traffic over HTTPS. I believe this will work though haven't tried it as I have always had to connect via a VPN for server RDP when I used it regularly.
Andrew.
