Re: Migrating to Windows Server 2003 from Windows Server 2000 and using Remote Desktop Client

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



On the Terminal Server, open Terminal Services Configuration - rdp-
tcp connection - properties - under Client (or Sessions? can't
check now) tab, uncheck the box for "Always ask for passowrd". This
should remove the logon screen and use the credentials saved in
your RDP client.
To get rid of the "Manage your server" dialog, check the box "Do
not show this option every time I logon" or similar wording, at the
bottom of the "Manage your server" dialog.

I am migrating an application from Windows 2000 server to
Windows 2003 server.

The process followed on Windows 2000 server was as follows:
1. Open Client Connection manager.
2. create a new connection named say foo.
3. Set automatic logon option.
4. In the Program Tab for properties of foo, check "Start the
following program" and give path to a batch file which launches
autocad (for example) 5. save connection
6. when i connect to "foo", a terminal window comes up with
autocad launched in it. In the terminal window only the autocad
application is seen and the task bar is not seen.

Now I am trying to replicate the same process in Windows 2003
server. The steps I followed was:
1. Open Remote Desktop Connection.
2. Create a new connection say foo with ipaddress, username,
passwd and domain of that machine and check "save password".
3. In the Programs Tab, I check "Start the following program on
connection" and give path to a batch file which launches
autocad. 4. save connection.
5. Now when I connect to "foo", a terminal window shows up
showing the logon process followed by the "Manage Your Server"
dialog which shows up whenever I log into that machine. Somehow
the autocad application does not get launched ! If i click on
the batch file separately then the autocad application shows up,
6. Also in the terminal window the task bar also shows up.

I resolved these issues by changing startup settings: getting
autocad to be launched and autohiding the taskbar whenever
someone logs on. However is there an alternate workaround to
this kind of thing ? I mean why does the "foo" connection not
automatically start the AutoCAD file when it is configured to do
so ? Any help/hints would be appreciated. Thanks.
