When you publish RemoteApps and Remote Desktops through Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG), a default icon is used for the application in the portal. Using the CustomUpdate mechanism (as described in About customizing end user Web pages), you can provide a custom icon for each of your published RemoteApp and Remote Desktop applications.

Note:
You must provide a custom icon before publishing the application, because the icon details are stored in the RDS internal configuration file, and not in the Forefront UAG configuration.

The default icon is located here: ...\Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway\von\PortalHomePage\images\AppIcons\mstsc64.png.

To use a custom icon with published RemoteApps and Remote Desktops

  1. In the ...\Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway\von\PortalHomePage\images\AppIcons folder, create one of the following files:

    • CustomUpdate\<trunk-name>.<uag-app-name>.<rmapp-name>.png

    • CustomUpdate\<trunk-name>.<rmapp-name>.png

    • CustomUpdate\<uag-app-name>.<rmapp-name>.png

    • CustomUpdate\<rmapp-name>.png

    • <rmapp-name>.png

    where

    <trunk-name> is the name of the trunk defined in the Forefront UAG Management console.

    <uag-app-name> is the name of the application in the Forefront UAG Management console in the Applications area.

    <rmapp-name> is the name of the application as specified in the imported .tspub file. When you publish Remote Desktops, <rmapp-name> is either remote_desktop or uag_selective_remote_desktop.

    Note:
    • When you publish the application, Forefront UAG checks for a custom icon in these locations in the order of this list.

    • If you want to change the icon for a RemoteApp or Remote Desktop, you must remove the published application, change the icon, and publish the application again.
