Re: Start a program on connection and Windows XP

Aaah, you mean that the XP machine is the rdp *host*!
I assumed all the time that the XP machine was the rdp client,
connecting to a Terminal Server.

Sorry for that, Hal! And thanks for clarifying this, Maxim!

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but this does not work on Windows
XP.

Windows XP remote desktop connection is considered 'remote
console' - just like doing "mstsc /console" to W2K3 server.
Remote console sessions ignore some of Terminal Server settings,
including "Start a program on connection", Terminal Server
profile path, etc. Main reasoning behind it - remote console
session is still a console session, only viewed remotely,
therefore user experience should be the same whether logon
happens through RDP or locally.

You can use non-TS group policy setting for initial program -
see Computer Config\Administrative templates\Windows
Components\System\Logon\"Run these programs at user logon"
setting.

Hope it helps.
