Automate Login to TS from RDP

[Guest ponga]

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!!

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.

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)
