I have 2008 R2 Remote Desktop and goal is to use IE as the program to assign a specific virtual IP. I need some clarification as to what is Session vs Program. The reason is that I don't want to assign an IP to the user when they connect to the Remote desktop session, only when they launch IE within this desktop session. I don't have enough in the pool or range within the subnet to assign an IP to each desktop session. I have a small amount of users that need a specific IP for an IE application. So my question for clarification, I assume enabling Virtual IP for session means a Desktop session and Program means an application within a desktop session?
At the moment each user is assigned an IP when they connect to the desktop. I can validate this by the event log where an IP is assigned to a user upon connection to the desktop (as well as IPCONFIG). When the same user launches IE within the desktop session the event log shows another entry to which they are assigned an IP for IE (same IP as when they connected to the desktop).This is not the desired result as we need an IP only when launching IE.
Not using a DHCP server but using a static pool on the RDS server.
