AnswerAutomatic login for Remote Desktop

    Hi all,

     

    I would like some help in relation to Remote desktop. I was wondering if there was some console commands that cause Remote Desktop to run automatically enter in the username and password of a remote computer and then login. If it can't be done using the console, can it be programmed to automatically login (preferable in C++ or C#)?

    Hi,  MonkeyMark,

     

    Based on my understanding, you want to perform a auto login in your Remote Desktop, don't you?

     

    I think you should first open the Remote Desktop Connection application, input the server address, username and password.

    After that, you can save the configuration to a .rdp file.

    Actually, this file can be open with notepad.

    It is something like

    Code Block
    screen mode id:i:1
    desktopwidth:i:800
    desktopheight:i:600
    session bpp:i:16
    winposstr:s:2,3,482,159,1280,759
    full address:s:your server address
    compression:i:1
    keyboardhook:i:2
    audiomode:i:0
    redirectdrives:i:1
    redirectprinters:i:0
    redirectcomports:i:0
    redirectsmartcards:i:1
    displayconnectionbar:i:1
    autoreconnection enabled:i:1
    authentication level:i:0
    username:s:your user name
    domain:s:
    alternate shell:s:
    shell working directory:s:
    disable wallpaper:i:1
    disable full window drag:i:1
    disable menu anims:i:1
    disable themes:i:0
    disable cursor setting:i:0
    bitmapcachepersistenable:i:1
    password xxxxxxxx......xxxxxx


    The password is encrypted.

    Then you can start this .rdp file with

    Code Block

    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("your rdp file path");

    Hope this helps,
