Constraints

Constraints of using Workspace Application Streaming:

  • Workspace Application Streaming is available only when the account and password are used for login authentication.
  • Only applications deployed on Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019 are supported.
  • For login to the APS using the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), only the administrator account is currently supported.
  • The RD Licensing server must run Windows Server that is not earlier than the RDS CAL version. The RDS CAL version must not be earlier than the Windows Server version of the APS.
  • Remote applications do not support screen locking.
  • Software compatibility

    Requirements for deploying application software:

    • The software must support multi-instance running at the same time.
    • Software that can be run only by administrators is not supported.
    • Software installed in a personal user directory is not supported.
  • Profile and personal data storage

    To store personal data, users must configure profile and personal data storage. If profile and personal data storage is not configured, do not store personal data on the APS. Otherwise, personal information can be accessed by other users, causing information leakage.

    The user profile data of remote applications is stored on a third-party shared file server using the roaming user configuration and folder redirection functions of Windows. This solution depends on Microsoft's implementation, and users' applications can access only one server. When a user opens multiple applications and accesses multiple APSs at the same time, there will be multiple copies of roaming user configurations. If the user configurations are modified separately, configuration conflicts will occur and the modified configurations cannot be saved to the roaming user configurations.

    User personal data is stored on a third-party shared storage system, such as network attached storage (NAS).

  • Cloud applications publish applications using the RDS of Windows Server. Users are isolated by session and do not affect each other. However, if a fault or security problem occurs on the OSs or applications that are shared by all users, all users will be affected. Therefore, cloud applications do not apply to users who have high security and isolation requirements.
