    I have a 2012 server with Remote Desktop services. I push outlook to my PC via rds. When I click a link to send email, I need to use the pushed outlook. Does anyone know how to do this? My client is windows 7. I have tried using a registry entry but get an error, something to the effect of "mail client not installed properly".

    So, i have outlook "pushed" to my desktop from RDS 2012. When i want to click any mailto: link, like so:

    I need the protocol to use the RDS outlook. Then i get the following:

    Which, that looks like it might work but then when i click allow:

    I have used the registry to try and use the outlook pushed to my desktop:

    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    So, outlook is physically installed on the RDS server, so i exported these from that server registry and modified the .reg file to fit the location of the "pushed" outlook.
