RemoteApp Icons missing from RDWeb

I had this issue recently, where the icons were missing from the RDWeb login page.

Amongst other things the main change to the configuration was a re-IP addressing of my network to place it behind a firewall.

Whilst, most things are achieved through name resolution, I was getting an Error logged in the Application Event log pointing to the OLD IP address of 192.168.0.110.

After checking the configuration, removing/adding settings in the Remote Desktop console, I realised this must be a hard-coded value somewhere.

As it turns out I had committed the unforgivable offence of using an IP address in a configuration file (In my defence this was at home during testing!).

Ensure the ServerName tag in the RDWebAccess.config contains a valid server/alias FQDN (if configured).

C:\Windows\Web\RDWeb\App_Data\RDWebAccess.config
