Launching a program when user launches remote desktop connection

Posted: 08-21-2006, 04:47 PM
Hello,

I am trying to launch an application when the users log onto their remote
desktop connection. I would the remote desktop connection to terminate when
the user terminates the application. I read this is possible, however when I
quit the application, the remote desktop connection remains w/o any icons or
menus. The only option is to disconnect. I would like the user's default
printer to be available which I belive I can accomplish through the remote
desktop connection options. I would also like to prevent the users from
accessing anything other than the launched application.

Thanks in advance.

1. can create a batch file to load application and add logoff to the batch file so that the windows logoff when they close the application.
2. I think the TS has a group policy that shows disconnect only. So, you may want to modify the policy.
