We are about to roll out the update package for KB2830477 RDP 8.1 Compatibility updates, I have developed a solution to handle the issues encountered when deploying it but I wanted to ask the community if they had any different approaches and issues.
Each of the following had to be installed in the order shown and all applied otherwise it left us without total functionality on our RDS connections. There are 2 reboots to be catered for also, Software updates wasn't an option due to the nature of maybe installing the update at some point just wasn't good enough, it all had to occur at the same time.
- KB 2574819: An update is available that adds support for DTLS in Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
- KB 2857650: Update that improves the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections features is available for Windows 7
- KB 2830477: Update for RemoteApp and Desktop Connections feature is available for Windows
- KB 2913751: Smart card redirection in remote sessions fails in a Windows 7 SP1-based RDP 8.1 client
- (Optional) If you experience connection reliability issues after installing KB 2913751, we recommend installing KB 2923545: Update for RDP 8.1 is available for Windows 7 SP1 .
So any ideas?
