    We are using RemoteApp in Windows Server 2012 to publish Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.

    Sometimes when the user clicks on something inside the application that generates a popup of a new windows, this new window is opened behind the main windows. This causes confusion to the users.

    I have found the following Kb articles/hotfixes that seem to describe the problem:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2580346
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2384602
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983533

    However, all these hotfixes are applicable only to Windows 2008 (R2), and not Windows Server 2012.

    Are there any updated hotfixes for 2012 somewhere?

    Hi,

    For your issue, I am scared to inform that still there is no any hotfix available but there is one workaround which you can try. For that you need to make changes in registry.

    For changing in registry, open Registry editor and then navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop and change the value of “ForegroundLockTimeout” into 0.(You can Perform for Server 2012)

    Refer below threads for more information:

    1.  Published Application POPUPS   behind main window 
    2.  windows 7 (x64 pro) window focus issues:when i open a program/window, sometimes it opens in the background instead of the foreground

    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

    I have the same situation when running Dynamics AX as a remote app.  Did you make a change on the Remote Desktop Server?  If so, what did you change?  Were you able to do this with a GPO policy?

    Thanks.

    I could use some help with this also.. I tried the latest RDP client, this registry fix is not working for me. Do you do it on the users machine or on the server or both?

    We are experience this same issue with Dynamics GP.  Has anyone found a solution?  Our users are not very happy with us at the moment.  Tried registry fix and various hotfixes.  Using Server 2012 r2, WIndows 7 clients.

    We ran into a similar problem after updating our 2008 r2 rds farm environment to 2012r2. Some new popup windows, within our published RemoteApp application, would hide behind the parent window and the session seemed frozen to the end user. We noticed that clicking away from the RemoteApp and clicking on something on the taskbar and than clicking back, would show the popup window(of course this was unacceptable to our users).

    The solution that fixed this issue was to:

    Disable “Use advanced RemoteFX graphics for RemoteApp” in Local GP on the 2012R2 RDS Host(s):

    Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Session Host/Remote Session Environment/

    This is was the solution in my situation with a RDS 2012 R2 environment with Windows 10 clients, thanks

    Hi

        This issue is du to incompatibility between Remote app 2012 and rdp win 7.  The solution is to upgrade your RDP to rdp 8.0 on your clients computer. the issue is not side server but side client.

    step 1 :  insure that your win 7 is sp1 else download your  Win 7 SP1 and install it
    step 2 : , download and install hotfix (prerequest for rdp 8.0 update)
    step 3 :   download and install rdp 8.0 update (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2592687)

    it work fine

    regards

    Mourad
