Guest ponga Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Hey gang, I just got tasked to login to 100+ XP boxes via RDP - so I am searching for a way to ease the pain, so far no luck. At first I was looking for a way to make a connectoid that stores the un/pass (they are all the same) - but the XP boxes are set to disallow such a thing in GP. So, my next though was just to find a way that I can Ctrl- V the password in so I don't have to type it everytime, but simply cannot find a way to do it. I've tried so-called keystroke emulators, etc - but nothing works. Any tips would be much appreciated here, Thanks!! -ponga
Guest Jeff Pitsch Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Re: Automate Login to TS from RDP If the GP can't be changed (and why can't it if this is a valid reason), then you might be out of luck. By the way, having 100's of logins from the same user is a recipe for disaster. Profiles are not designed for this type of setup and you may be fighting lots of issues with this. Besides from a security standpoint, having an automated login is typically a bad thing especially from a store. I know when i worked in retail, this was never allowed for that reason.

Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Re: Automate Login to TS from RDP Hi, You can write a warapper of MSRDP.OCX and save the password (crypted) in a text file, with that you can distribute the profile file to all the postes. You can see the example of my program RAC v3.0 (http://www.mqtechnologies.com) Regards ThomasT.
