Shortcuts per application wich auto log in in a Terminal Server

[Guest Remco]

I'm installing several Terminal Servers per month and i install them and

publish a desktop to user. Now i have heard from a colleague that he has seen

a customer wich uses shortcuts on the desktop pc per application wich start

the application on the Terminal Server without logging in.

 

It looks like Citrix, but this isn't the case in my situation.

 

Is this possible with Microsoft Terminal Server alone, without using any 3rd

party software?

Re: Shortcuts per application wich auto log in in a Terminal Server

 

This is a feature of Windows 2008 TS, with Remote Applications (which

is very similar in behaviour to Citrix published applications).

 

You can sort of mimic this behaviour on Windows 2003 by creating a

different .rdp file for every application, create a shortcut to it on

the desktop, configure a different starting application in every rdp

file and also store the user credentials in the rdp file to mimic

single signon. That's a lot of manual configuration, though.

Re: Shortcuts per application wich auto log in in a Terminal Serve

 

 

In this case it is just for one application, so this could be a solution.

Thank you for your help at this subject and maybe you could help me with one

more.

 

I have posted some days before a topic about importing a certificate for all

users who are logging in a terminal server situation.

 

How can i publish a certificate wich will be available for all users?

 

One way is to import is per session. In my case it will be 7 times, but i

can imagine that a company of 100 users don't like it to do, so there must be

a way to do, but i can't find it.

 

Can you help me with this?

I've seen your certificate question, Remco, both here and on

MSTerminalServices.org.

I haven't answered because I don't know. The term "autoenrollment"

comes to mind, but I've never worked with certificates on a TS.
