Hide being on RDP

[Guest Jordan]

I have an app that always warns 3 time whenever you fire it up via RDP. It

works fine, but these prompts get annoying and there is no way to turn them

off in the app.

 

Is there a way to hide that I am on RDP from applications?

What are the warnings about?

Is the software supported running on a Terminal Server?

Re: Hide being on RDP

 

The vendor says that it detect being on RDP and warns us that certain

layouts may not be accurate so they prompt about the display on each change

of window in the program, but we know and just don't care because we are

just looking up some comments.

 

If I run the software on the console it is fine or if I run it with the

/Console switch for RDP it is fine as well, but I don't want to allow users

to access TS with the console switch.

Re: Hide being on RDP

 

Seems like the application uses the GetSystemMetrics() function or

something similar to detect that it runs in a TS session. Nothing you

can do about it.

Your best bet is to suggest to the vendor that they built in an

option into the application to disable these warnings.
