I have new employee's in my IT department and I made a simple page that has all of the server ip's and names. I have set it to connect to all of the shares on a server when you click on the corresponding ip, and created .rdp files for each server. I posted them on a server but when someone clicks on the .rdp file it will not open up terminal server and connect them. I was wondering if anyone knew how to script it so when they click on a link it will open up a terminal server connection utilizing the .rdp file so it will connect them to a specific server. I can be reached via here or at (redacted).

This is a web page with links to .rdp files?

If so, it sounds like a web server configuration issue. I assume it's prompting the user to download the .rdp file rather than open it? You probably need the web server to give .rdp files a MIME type of application/rdp, if it isn't already. Each user's web browser might need to be configured to associate the application/rdp type with Terminal Services too (I don't know if that association is normally there by default).

This is how Microsoft does it in 2003's remote web workplace e-online synergy portal (or whatever): http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa380809(VS.85).aspx

If your people are using IE (or can for this), it's a relatively easy way to do it.

Thanks Guys! it was the MIME type on the webserver had to add it to the directory where they were stored. Now to do the same for all the switches /cry! I wish someone had taken the time to do this when i was hired i was just handed a bent screwdriver, pair of broken plyers, flashlight with 1 battery and no bulb, and a console cable! lollolololol.

Yes, but the big question is, did you get one of the flat or round console cables?

it was a round with 2 9 pin adapeters with only 1 pin in each!
