Windir System32 Mstsc Execution
Remote desktop connection using asp.net c# (5) I realize that in Windows 7, it is not possible to save different credentials for the same host, but I need some workaround. Can I provide the username and password manually in the code? Store them in a temp.rdp file?
- Agent can’t be found/execution not working correctly. Make sure the machine Ranorex Studio is running on is in the same network (subnet) as the remote machine the Agent is running on. Make sure the Agent is running in an active user session. Do not log off the user from the machine the Agent is running on.
- While trying to figure out how to allow users into our network, without giving them the keys to the castle, I enabled Remote Desktop Access for a few members of my team. Thinking more about this, I quickly remembered a project several years ago while working for the Department of Defense.
Once upon a time in a company far, far away, I needed to find a way to have users automatically logon to a Remote Desktop session with a specific set of credentials. I searched everywhere, and although I did find some tools, none of them were exactly what I was looking for. So I decided to make one myself.
With the help of a lot of information on the web, I managed to write my own utility, saving me tons of work. Having done that however, I saw more possibilities. So as a way to spend what little free time I have left, I started writing Remote Desktop Plus. It’s Remote Desktop, but with some added features. Basically it allows you to launch a Remote Desktop session using a username and password entered from the command line (autologin) or imported from a saved profile. But that’s not all. Normally profiles are saved with the highest level of security, which means they can only be used using the account which created them and only on the computer they were created on. You can also save profiles using a less strict security, which means they’ll be available on any other computer and will ‘roam’ with you.
Please note however that because no external password key is used, a determined individual with the right tools (debuggers, disassemblers), the right knowledge of programming, access to the registry or computer of the user, and some other ingredients, could potentially break the encryption, so use this option with care. Also available is the add-on tool RDPProfile.exe, which allows you to automatically create profiles from the command line. You could use this from a login script to pre-populate some profiles for end users. If you need to use double quotes in the /start startup program, you have to put a backslash ( ) in front of each quote. You can also use environment variables in your command, both local and from the remote computer. To use remote environment variables, you must precede the percent signs with a backslash. Combined example: rdp /v:nlapp03 /u:donkzdomain helpdesk /start:'C: Program Files Remote Control rc.exe' ' nlfps01 Config$ RC%COMPUTERNAME%-%USERNAME%.cfg' If Remote Desktop Plus is started by user JohnDoe, the last part of the command will be expanded to ' nlfps01 Config$ RC NLAPP03-JohnDoe.cfg'.
You can set a user defined text as your title bar by using the option /title. You can use local environment variables in your title plus these two special variables:%s: Will be expanded to the server name you’ve connected to.%u: Will be expanded to the username used to login to the remote computer. Example: rdp /i:'Domain Admin' /fit /title:'%s (%u) – Remote Desktop' When connecting to the server nlfps01, this would result in the title bar text nlfps01 (DONKZDOMAIN Administrator) – Remote Desktop. You can also use your own icon for the session by using the option /icon. This can be either a normal icon file ( G: Icons Remote.ico) or an executable or.dll file (% ProgramFiles% Internet Explorer iexplore.exe). For files containing multiple icons, you can specify the desired icon using its index (% WINDIR% System32 shell32.dll,43).
Please note that using /icon will also force an implied /wait, due to the way Windows retains (or does not retain) dynamically changed icons when the program which requested the changes is closed. You can start a RemoteApp with Remote Desktop Plus, either from the command line or specified in the.rdp file. You can enter the RemoteApp using either its name ( ' FileZilla') or the full path to the executable ( C: Windows System32 Notepad.exe). When using the name, always enclose it between double quotes, otherwise your system may confuse the double pipe signs with the double pipes used in batch scripting.
All options concerning the screen (like /fit and /mon) are ignored when using RemoteApps. The same goes for /title and /icon. Due to the way the Remote Desktop client launches all RemoteApps in a general, embedded instance of mstsc.exe, the option /wait is also not supported. With the kiosk mode, you can set the GUI to a special restricted mode, in which only the fields for the target computer, username and password are shown. Using a 3-character ‘mask’, you can enable or disable any of the three fields. Each character in the mask stands for one of the three fields (computername, username, password). A 1 will enable the field, a 0 will disable it.
As of version 6.2, you can also use the first letters of the field(s) you’d like to enable as the mask: c(omputer), u(ser) and/or p(assword). For example, /kiosk:011 or /kiosk:up will disable the computername field and only allow the user to enter the username and password. The kiosk mode will default to 100 (or c) when a mask has not been specified. You can specify the drives you want to redirect to the remote computer by using the /drives option.
Drives can be specified either by name or by drive type (Fixed, Removable, Network, CD-ROM). To redirect drives that get plugged in later, you can use the drive type Dynamic. You can also exclude certain drives by preceding them with the minus sign. For example, /drives:fixed,-c:,p: will redirect drive P: and all fixed drives except C. If you don’t specify any drive or type, /drives will default to all drives, including the ones plugged in later.
By using the /o switch, you can specify every option supported by the.rdp file. Options should be given in the exact same syntax as used in.rdp files. You can specify multiple options by separating them by commas. To use commas within options, precede them with a backslash. Examples: rdp /start:terminal.exe /o:'shell working directory:s:H: My Documents, redirectcomports:i:1″ rdp /remoteapp:' ProdDB' /o:”remoteapplicationcmdline:s:proddb, sqlsa, P@ssw0rd, remoteapplicationname:s:Production Database” The native RDP+ command line switches always take precedence over the /o options.
So if you use rdp /printers /o:'redirectprinters:i:0″, then /printers will win. For an overview of (most of) the possible settings, you may find useful.
You can log all started sessions to a semicolon-delimited log file using the /log option. If you don’t specify the name of the log file, it will default to the file rdp.log in the directory containing rdp.exe. If you do specify a filename, the name can be further customized through both local environment variables (like%COMPUTERNAME%), and some special variables:%s: Will be expanded to the server name you’re connecting to.%u: Will be expanded to the username used to login to the remote computer.%c: Will be expanded to the name of the local client computer.
When starting RDP+ locally, this will be the same as%COMPUTERNAME%. When starting RDP+ from within a Terminal Server or Citrix session,%c will contain the computername of the originating client computer (i.e.%CLIENTNAME%).%y: The 4-digit representation of the current year.%m: The 2-digit representation of the current month.%d: The 2-digit representation of the current day. Example: rdp /log:%y%m%d-%s.log When connecting to the server nlfps01 on the 30th of December, 2015, this would result in the log file 20151230-nlfps01.log being used. The semi-colon delimited log file contains all kinds of information about the computer and user which started the session, and information about the target computer and how the session was started. When RDP+ is launched from within a Terminal Server or Citrix session, it will also log the computername and IP address of the originating client. This can also be useful when using thinclients.

RDP+ features an optional system tray icon. This icon can be used for the following things:. Managing and launching favorites. Starting a new ‘blank’ instance of RDP+.
Quickly switching to currently active Remote Desktop sessions. Automatically load the tray when you start your computer. See which Remote Desktop session you had active last, or by doubleclicking the tray icon, immediately switch to the last active session. When using the kiosk mode, the system tray reverts to a simpler mode, in which only the active sessions are available.

This simple mode can also be enforced through the Group Policy. When creating favorites, you have the option to save them with the option Save secured (user and computer bound). This means the favorite is only available on the computer it was created on. Use this option when you have specified sensitive passwords in the command line.
When not saving it as a secure favorite, the favorite will be available on any computer you logon to when using roaming profiles. It will be saved using the same encryption /pe or Gencrypt uses, so it is still secure from prying eyes.
If you regularly use the same command line parameters, you can also put them in a separate file and specify this file with the @-parameter. RDP+ will then use the contents as its command line parameters.
You can also put normal.rdp file style options in the command file, without having to precede them with /o. This way you can use the command file as a master.rdp file. Comments can be added by starting the comment line with a semi-colon. Example of a command file:; Command line /fit /noprinters /drives:fixed /icon:Company.ico /title:'%u on%s – Remote Desktop'; Default.rdp file options enablesuperpan:i:1 keyboardhook:i:2 Tip: Use.rdpc as the suffix for the file and run RDP+ with the command line /register once to register the.rdpc extension to RDP+.
This allows you to double click command files to immediately launch RDP+ and have the command files shown in the recent files when pinning RDP+ to the Start Menu. As of RDP+ 6.2, you can set all of the ‘slashed’ command line options as the default option for Remote Desktop Plus by setting the user environment variable RDP. For example, you can set RDP to /fit /mon:2 /noprinters /drives:fixed. When you set /mon to a number higher than the number of monitors attached to your computer, RDP+ will automatically fall back to monitor 1. This means you can safely set it to 2 if you always want your session to start in the second monitor when it is available. Default options can also be set using the registry key HKEYCURRENTUSER Software Remote Desktop Plus DefaultOptions or HKEYLOCALMACHINE Software Remote Desktop Plus DefaultOptions. The default options can of course be overruled from the command line.
Either by entering an opposing or overruling option (/printers vs. /noprinters, or /fit vs.
/max), or (as of RDP 6.2) by using the negating /- option. For example: /-title will negate /title:'Something'. RDP+ supports many different ways for specifying commands or options. These are processed in the following order:. Value of HKEYLOCALMACHINE Software Remote Desktop Plus DefaultOptions. Value of HKEYCURRENTUSER Software Remote Desktop Plus DefaultOptions.
Value of the environment variable RDP. Content of the command file. Command line arguments. Machine part of Group Policy setting ( Computer Configuration ). Games 64 n64 emulator download android mario kart.
User part of Group Policy settings ( User Configuration). Last setting wins. You can localize RDP+ for your own language using a customizable XML file. In the you will find a Dutch template ( languagenl.xml) which you can use to create your own translation. Once you’re done, save it in the directory containing rdp.exe and replace the template part in the file name with the two letter (ISO 639-1) language code for the language your computer is running.
For example: languagede.xml for German. Note: I’ve stopped maintaining the language templates, but you can still update them yourself. New versions of RDP+ will still support localization of all strings, new or existing. When starting Remote Desktop Plus from a script, you can use the option /batch to prevent RDP+ from displaying error messages. Instead you can catch potential errors through the exit codes (errorlevels) which RDP+ raises.
These are the possible exit codes which can be raised: 0: No errors. 1: General undefined error.
2: Specified connection file not found. 5: Target computer not in the list of allowed targets. 29: Cannot write to the log file. 30: Profile not found.
87: Invalid command line parameter or combination of command line parameters. 161: The format of the specified path is invalid (filename of the connection file, log file or command options file). 259: No responsive server found in the list (when using /lb). 2382: Invalid notation of the specified host name or IP address. 10060: Connection timed out to the specified server.
11001: Remote hostname not found. Please not that exit codes are only raised when RDP+ is either started with its own /wait command line switch or when you launch RDP+ from a script using the appropiate syntax to wait for completion. Examples of the latter: Batch: @ECHO OFF START /WAIT rdp.exe blah blah ECHO%ERRORLEVEL% VBS: Set objWSH = WScript.CreateObject('WScript.Shell') Shell = objWSH.Run('rdp.exe blah blah', 1, True) WScript.Echo Shell PowerShell: $Shell = Start-Process -FilePath 'rdp.exe' -ArgumentList 'blah blah' -Wait -Passthru $Shell.ExitCode. Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 or higher Note: If you intend to launch Remote Desktop Plus from a local network share and you’re running a version of.NET Framework prior to 3.5 SP1, you’ll need to execute the following command once from the command prompt:%windir% Microsoft.NET Framework v2.0.50727 caspol -q -m -ag LocalIntranetZone -zone Intranet FullTrust -n 'Network shares' -d 'Full rights in Local Intranet zone.' If you only have.NET 4.0 installed and no previous version of.NET, Remote Desktop Plus (or any other program targeted for previous versions of.NET Framework for that matter) will fail to launch with an error Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application. You don’t necessarily have to install an older version of.NET to fix this however.
Just create a file named rdp.exe.config with the following content and place it in the same directory as rdp.exe.
