Microsoft Outlook x64 No Toast Notifications in RDS Environment

Hi,

I have scoured the web for a solution to this issue, and tried every recommended solution - however nothing has worked.

The problem:

When users receive a new email whilst in their Server 2016 RDS environment, they do not receive any toast notifications from Outlook (Outlook is running INSIDE the RDS environment).

Upon investigation, Outlook does not even appear as an option in the Notification Centre under 'Get notifications from these apps'

Outlook Version: 2102 (Build 13801.20294 Click-to-Run) x64

Channel: Current

What has been tried:

  • Action Center 'Get notifications from apps and other senders' - ENABLED

  • Action Center' Hide notifications when duplicating my screen' - DISABLED

  • Check to ensure the 'Display a Desktop Alert' option is enabled in Outlook - TRUE

  • GPO for 'Remove Notifications and Action Center' - DISABLED

  • GPO for 'Turn off Quiet Hours' - ENABLED

  • Outlook Shortcut is visible in the Start Menu under 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs' - NO FIX

  • Copied a shortcut from a computer with a FRESH UNMODIFIED installation of Office into the 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs' directory - NO FIX

  • Completely uninstalls / reinstalled Office - NO FIX

  • Disabled Outlook 'Display Desktop Alert' option, restart Outlook and re-enable the option - NO FIX

However: Administrators in the exact same environment, on the exact same server DO receive toast notifications and Outlook DOES appear in the list of 'Get notifications from these apps' in the Notification Center.

I am out of options.

Can someone please suggest how i can get this working?

Hi,

All versions have been listed.
Also a complete reinstall has been tried - so i don't see how a repair will be any different?

This seems to be related to our FSLOGIX configuration for the users.

Disabling FSLOGIX on a test user enabled the notifications.
