RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 4 Ondrej Holy 2014-11-03 15:13:47 UTC
It works correctly for me with RHEL 6.5 versions of rdesktop/xfreerdp and MSWS 2008, however the server should be properly configured. Terminal services role have to be added:
Server Manager -> Actions -> Add roles -> Server roles -> Terminal Services -> ...

Does it fix your problem?

Comment 6 Ondrej Holy 2014-11-04 09:23:54 UTC
Also the program has to be added in the list of RemoteApps to avoid access denied error (TS RemoteApp Manager -> Add RemoteApp).

Comment 7 Vera Budikova 2014-11-04 15:07:26 UTC
Yes, your steps were helpful. It works correctly for me with RHEL 6.6 and Windows 2008 Server. I think it is not a bug.

Comment 8 Vera Budikova 2014-11-06 13:26:05 UTC
It works correctly for Windows XP SP3 -> close.
