RDP Auto logon

Note: Current release 1.1 does not support new Microsoft Remote Desktop Client 6.0. The client comes with Vista, or can be downloaded from Microsoft. Ream more here

autordp 2.0 that supports both older clients and mstsc 6.0 is currently in beta. Read more and download the beta from my blog site.

 

Using RDP Auto logon you can script remote terminal connections using native Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection utility.

The utility sends user name, password and remote host information from the command line to the native Microsoft RDC utility (mstsc.exe). You can use .rdp file as a template to specify parameters not handled by the utility: e.g. Remote desktop size, number of colors etc.

Usage

The program does not require installation. Download the autordp.exe file to a local folder. Use autordp.exe /? for usage information. Below is description of the command line switches:

Autordp [<Connection File>] [/v:<server[:port]>] [/u:<user>] [/p:<Password>] [/console]

<Connection file> -- .rdp file to specify parameters not handled by the utility: e.g. Remote desktop size, number of colors etc. To create this file run mstsc.exe, expand Options menu and click Save as.

<server[:port]>
-- terminal server to which you want to connect

u:<user> -- user name (e.g. DOMAIN\\User)

p:<password> -- user password

/console -- connection to the console session of a server.

/? -- generates help message
