Hello RDS experts! I am struggling with what should be a simple solution with RemoteApp. Here is my challenge:
I am sharing Internet Explorer from an RDS server to users. I have a number of web applications that users cannot access either because of browser incompatibility or browser security settings, so I want to funnel them through RD Gateway and RDS to a Remote App.
I have the Gateway configured corrected and the internal RDS server as well, but I'm struggling with getting the correct user experience.
The users are going to need to save files and I want them to be able to save the files back on their remote machines without any hassle. I understand from previous forum posts that mapping their remote drive "as the C: drive" just doesn't really work, but there's got to be something that I can do to hide the server drives.
I have tried the below articles:

None of these seem to work with 2012 R2...or maybe it's just specific to the "Save As.." menu coming from IE. Maybe if I had a full blown Windows Explorer (or now "File Explorer") then it would work right.
Can anybody shed any light on this, please be specific to the 2012 R2 implementation? Or is there an easier way to do it? I looked at user profile disks, but that seems like a bad option for me because I want the users to have their files once they are offline and disconnected from me...
Please help!!
