squirrel Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 I have an asp.net app that generates rdp connections on the fly. Once the rdp file is created, I want the application to open the file and start off the connection. I initially tried this using system.diagnostics.process.start and tested it on a win2k server with no association for .rdp. Everything worked fine except it wouldn't launch the rdp for obvious reasons. I then tested it on my home pc which runs winxp and the whole app worked perfectly. Back at work, however, it will not open the rdp files even on a server with the correct .rdp associations. Does anybody have any idea of different techniques I can use to try and launch this file?

squirrel Posted June 20, 2003 Author Posted June 20, 2003 Okay so tell me this, how am I able to run every session that I use at work through rdp sessions on a Win2k server? Practically everything we use consists of vmware tools and we only have one or two physical servers. The whole architecture is windows 2000. If I have a file with a .rdp extension and double click on it, it opens the rdp connection up so why can't I automate this? Quote
