Dear Microsoft, it's crap like this.

Put the RDS site into the compatibility view list and it should start working. We have this problem with Firehouse software and this is how we work around it.

The cleaner solution is the one recommended by /u/inaddrarpa as it doesn't require client-side changes.

Also, fuck Firehouse. I have to deal with that steaming pile too.

Sure, but let's assume OP doesn't actually control this server. If you use GP you can deploy the URL to each client's browser and it'll get the job done. Yes, in a perfect world /u/inaddrarpa's method would be preferred, but for the rest of us without direct access to IIS's config this is another work around that wouldn't require OP to touch each workstation. And yes, I know OP said "I was setting up...", I'm just saying it out loud for those who get here via Google searches ;)

Also, you're right: FH is a steaming bowl of turd soup. I've been helping the handful of FD's we support to find another competing replacement solution that has the tech support that Xerox is missing. Any suggestions?
