Hello,

Yes, you need to have the RemoteApp in the windows server, and publish it through Remote Desktop Services.

@Karlie Weng
Thanks so much, I am able to close to get remoteApp work, but failed in the last step, not sure if you have any suggestions？

I followed the instruction below to set up the remote web client access for wordpad.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-web-client

then, I am able to login http://hostname.com/RDWeb/webclient/,
when I clicked the published App 'wordpad',
it prompts to ask to Allow the remote computer to access
Clipboard Printer, I clicked Allow button, then I got the following error:

Oops, we couldn't connect to "WordPad"
The connection to the remote PC was lost. This might be because of a network connection problem. If this keeps happening, ask your admin or tech support for help.

@Karlie Weng thanks for the link. I followed the instructions and the certificate is set up correctly.

Here is the error log I got from web client, not sure if you can help find the cause?
