Adding Remote Desktop Web Connection to a web page.

[Martin Emanuelsson]

Hi all!

I'm not sure if I've found the correct newsgroups to post this question to
but I'll give it a try.

I have downloaded and installed the Remote Desktop Web Connection from
Microsoft Download Center to my computer (Windows 2000 Server). It seems to
work because I am able to go to http://localhost/TSWeb/default.htm and point
out a server and connect to that server through this webpage.

The reason why I'm posting to these newsgroups is that I would like to
create a webbpage where I don't have to go through this first step of
choosing a server, setting a domain, choosing size of the window etc but
instead just click on a certain link which opens the login-window to the
server at once.

Is this possible to do?? And in that case, how? Does anyone have code that I
can have a look at?

Hope that someone can help me with this request.

Best regards

If you're familiar with scripting, you can look at the HTML on that page, to
see what properties it sets for server, size, etc.

look at the demo section of www.applauncher.com and see our modified code.
There is lots of cool stuff you can do.

Hello again and thanks for your answers!

I think I've got the hang of it now.

Just one more question. I get the window to open a specific server without
having to enter the name of the server in a textfield (it was almost to easy
actually). Now I just want to make one more change, I want a specific Domain
to be prechosen when the user gets to the login-window for the server.

I get this to work if I set both username and domain in my file but not when
I only want to set a certain domain, why is it like this?? Do I have to make
something else?

you should be able to view the source code on my site and use it as you
wish, you can hide the field and pre-fill it with the server or domain you
want to force them to go to. Also, look at
http://www.applauncher.com/rac/remote/ and see what else we've done. For
clients I remove the fields,, pre-fill them and all they have to do is hit
connect. Feel free to cut-n-paste from my site!

The problem that I'm experiencing is that when I, in the code, write this
code:

MsRdpClient.UserName = ""
MsRdpClient.Domain = "USERS"

the Remote Desktop Web Connection doesn't care about the Domain name that
I've entered. But if add a letter or just a "space" in the UserName-row,
like this:

MsRdpClient.UserName = " "
MsRdpClient.Domain = "USERS"

it works. Why is it like this?? Does anyone know??
