I'm having a problem with running remote apps from a Windows 2008 R2 server, butONLY with Windows 8.1 clients. I can connect successfully and run the remote apps from a Windows Vista or Windows 7 workstation. However, when I connect from a Windows 8.1 workstation, I can log on to the website with no problem but when I try to run an app (Word, Excel, etc.), I get the following error message. I also get a similar error message trying to open a remote desktop session from the RDWeb site:
Remote App Disconnected
Remote Desktop can't conenct to the remote computer "[Gateway computer FQDN]" for one of these reasons.
The reasons include that the user account is not listed in the RD Gateway's permissions list, and that the remote computer name is specified incorrectly (i.e., NetBIOS name instead of FQDN or IP address). Although all of the settings are exactly the same as those that I use for Windows Vista/7, I tried several things:
- On the Windows 8.1 computer, I tested the user credentials by logging on to a remote desktop session from the remote desktop connection client (instead of the rdweb site) using the same credentials. This worked with no problem.
- I tested the computer name by changing it from a NetBIOS name (which works with Windows Vista/7) to the FQDN. I got the same error message as with the NetBIOS name.
The IIS logs don't show any error messages. The only error message I can find which might be related is in the Security log of the server:

I've done a lot of research over the past couple of days and can't find anything related to these errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
