   Hello,

   It work nicely, thank you.
   Nevertheless, I tryed to add some RDP6 specific line to the LaunchRDP.rdp file in order to use the RemoteApp rdp6 option and the connection is no more established.

   My question is: Do you think your program can work with RemoteApp switches? If yes, can I place a purchase order to ask you to develop for us a specific a program that would exactly do what we need (our own program generates a .RDP file and run our own copy of mstsc RDP6 that we install in our own folder (not /System32).

   Kind regards

   we had used this utility last year to automate our QA process for our LAB computers, when trying it on our workstations this year, im finding that it will not work correctly with windows 7 workstations.

   It connects, but doesnt automatically login? is there any way of fixing this ?

   Is there any possibility to omit some parameters like domain or port? Becouse i don’t always need them and all of that required parameters.

   Agree with Jakub, I connect to customers systems over VPN, being able to omit the domain would be a big bonus for usability.

   Hi all,

   I hope it’s okay with Remko to post this, but with the help of all the information in the posts about LaunchRDP and the Remote Desktop Encryption Tool, I’ve been able to create my own utility, which features automatic login from the command line plus some other nifty features. You can download it (for free of course) over here:

    Hey Remko

    Great program; but i get error when the port numbers are getting weird: example: 3385

    is this fixable?

    your tool is great.but with new version of terminal services client, /console has been replaced by /admin and when i set console to 1 it does not work.
    do you have a solution about it?

    Can you post how to start it with no passwd?

    Hello –

    I was checking this out and I discovered that when I have the server set to Security Level TLS 1.0 the connection is refused with the error “The remote computer requires that authentication be enabled to connect. The connection can not proceed because authentication is not enabled.” If I require the server to insist on Network Level Authentication the connection is also denied with error “The remote computer requires Network Level Authentication, which your computer does not support.”

    However, when I log in directly with RDP from the same computer with the same credentials, I get connected with both Network Level Authorization as well as TLS 1.0 – and if I remove Network Level Authentication and specify Negotiate on the Security Level, LaunchRDP takes me right in.

    Any ideas?? Thanks MartyD

    Hi Remko,

    I love using LaunchRDP to give students access to a lab environment without requiring them to authenticate, it’s a great replacement for MSTSC.

    It would be great if you can add a parameter which sets the screen resolution (both width x height as a percentage of the current screen).

    Would it be an option to add a ‘template RDP file’ where I configure things like colordepth / local resources / user experience / encryption?

    @Ingmar:

    I’ve got the feeling Remko has stopped development of LaunchRDP, but maybe my program (at http://www.donkz.nl) can help you out. It supports autologin, setting the screen size in a number of ways and the use of regular .rdp files. Plus many other features, including some you might find useful for students. For example the option for removal of the close button, restricting connections to a specific ‘white list’ and a special restricted kiosk mode GUI.

    Regards,
    Donkz

    Hi Remko,

    I hope you are well, it has been a while! I was thinking about your LaunchRDP as a way to bypass inter-domain authentication to a VM within AWS to run our internal CRM using RDRemoteApp.

    I was wondering whether you knew of a way to instantiate a RDRemoteApp program as part of the launch?

    This would enable us to host our internal CRM in Amazon without having to link our domain using AWS VPN.

    Thanks and kind regards!
