Remote desktop auto login script I wrote

gte · January 8, 2010

I posted here, because I'm looking for help as to how to get around a specific problem of reading the contents of the remote desktop window (specifically the legal banner that pops up, and at what exact millisecond it displays and will accept an input key to close) or to somehow tell from the back end, when the OS you are connecting to tells the legal banner registry key to be read and then for the banner to be displayed

I wrote an auto login script for Remote desktop. I also wrote an installer, but I'll only post that if people want it, as it's semi specific to my environment.

I has a couple features, it can encrypt and cache your credentials into an ini file, or you can call the executable with a " /a" after it and it will take what's on your clipboard and automatically push it to the script to log into it. I've tested it on XP, server 2k and server 2k3. I have not had a chance to thoroughly test the console mode switch.

It has switches for console mode, and for keeping the window open after it calls the remote desktop executable and passes the information to it. It can save certain local account credentials and have them via a drop down menu that can be password protected.

The way that I use it, is that I copy a server name to my clipboard and have an icon in my system tray that I click on to launch it, it will then call the remote desktop executable and it waits for me to hit the left hand ctrl key, which then sends the credentials. I had to code it this way, because I could not figure out a way to read the contents inside of the Remote Desktop window and wait until the warning banner appear (as pictured at the bottom of this post) before it sends the necessary key strokes. Some servers take a second to display that, some take as long as 10. And workstations can take even longer sometimes. If someone can figure out a way to read that window inside of the Remote Desktop window, that would be great and I'd be happy to incorporate it into the code.

I'd recommend tweaking the encryption string, and tweaking or at least being aware of where the files/credentials are saved to.

Two images you'll need to save and point the code to (for atheistic purposes) are

and

The .ico attached file that is attached through the forum in this post

remotedesktopicon1.ico

Anyway, let me know what you think and if you have any ideas on how to tell the millisecond (give or take a few) as to when that banner displays the ok button and is ready for a send key input
