Script to connect to terminal server?

[adamf]

Hi,

 

I'm after a script that will create a connection to a terminal server, something that I can run at logon for all our staff. Does anybody have such a thing or suggest a good source of scripts? I've had a look around but so far found nothing that does what I want.

mstsc /v servername ?

I would also point out that you can fine tune this as follows;

 

- Run MSTSC and define all the settings you want to use (computername, display settings, local resources, programs, experience etc,)

 

- Return to the General tab and click on Save. Choose a suitable location and name for the .RDP file that will be created.

 

- Use a script to execute the following

 

MSTSC (path to .RDP file)

 

This will make the connection with all the settings that you have predefined.

 

The .RDP file is just a plain text file with all the settings in. Information is on these pages

Note the 'SmartSizing' option that allows you to scale the remote desktop window. This is not available via the UI.

 

Other options available by doing the usual MSTSC /?
