Re: initiating a remote desktop session from a service

Allan,
Take a look at the last answer in this FAQ: http://blogs.msdn.com/ts/archive/2007/01/22/vista-remote-desktop-connection-authentication-faq.aspx#_Prompted_for_Authentication. It allows you to disable network level authentication which change the authentication behavior of the new RDP client (make sure to read the caveats).
Also, I haven't had a chance to test this thoroughly yet, so if you get a chance to post your results that would be great.

Hi

Just finished some testing.

Unfortunately i found no solution for my problem.

The option "%windir%\system32\mstsc.exe /edit c:\myrdp.rdp"


I still do not get the possibility to save the domainname, username and password in the rdp file.

This means that the "credentials" are invalid.

I use the remote desktop to connect to the same machine that executes the cmd. kind of remoting to "127.0.0.1"


Since I need an active desktop in order to handle ms word documents a.o. I cant see any other way than removing the update for the remote desktop version 6.0.

Hi there

From a service a cmd file was called containing these three
lines "..\mstsc.exe /edit c:\myrdp.rdp"
timeout 60
"..\mstsc.exe c:\myrdp.rdp /console"

Before installing version 6.0 it was possible to save
credentials, with password, to c:\myrdp.rdp file even though the
session was started from a service.

After upgrading, it is no longer possible to do this.

Any ideas of how to do this with the new version of remote
desktop ?
