Hi Mike, I tried to open the PPTX file via RDP client and observed that the performance is pretty good and fast for file opening and closing.
But I we connect to the same machine via Guacamole setup, we can open the file normally, but close of pptx takes 3-4 minutes. We don’t use “Remote App” setting with Guac admin page. I am attaching a screenshot for more information. We set Initial program parameter to invoke MSoffice exe for PowerPoint and feed the target file from a Guac drive that we create. Initial program = %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\powerpnt.exe \\tsclient\G\test_ppt.pptx After I close the pptx file, I see a blue screen for about 3-4 minutes and then the Windows logoff screen is shown. So, the Rdp session is not closed quickly for selective pptx files. We are using Guacamole project to edit MSWord, Excel and PPT files within our browser application by using a set of Windows 2008 R2 target machines.
