jftuga Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 (edited) I have written a nonintrusive desktop applet that I use at work for connecting to a large number of servers via RDP (Remote Desktop) & VNC. The hosts can be broken up into logical groups. Everything is configured in a .ini file. In the default .ini file, the first 3 groups use RDP, and the last group, which is an automatic concatenation of the first 3, use UltraVNC Viewer (you can change this to any flavor of VNC). I have found this to be a big time saver and a way to save space on the desktop. The applet is almost completely transparent when not in use as to not clutter up the desktop.Any comments or suggestions are welcome!-JohnDec 12, 2006 -- updated, see belowRemote_Manager_v7c.zip Edited December 12, 2006 by jftuga Admin_Popup, show computer info or launch shellRemote Manager, facilitates connecting to RDP / VNCProc_Watch, reprioritize cpu intensive processesUDF: _ini_to_dict, transforms ini file entries into variablesUDF: monitor_resolutions, returns resolutions of multiple monitorsReport Computer Problem, for your IT help deskProfile Fixer, fixes a 'missing' AD user profile
ybouan Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 I love the idea and was going to make one for myself. Unfortunately when I select a machine it does not launch my rdp session...
jftuga Posted July 1, 2005 Author Posted July 1, 2005 Try setting RunErrorsFatal to 0 in the .ini file. Also try setting Program to C:\WINDOWS\system32\mstsc.exe /v:_HOST_ under the [Groups]. Please let me know if you get it working. -John Admin_Popup, show computer info or launch shellRemote Manager, facilitates connecting to RDP / VNCProc_Watch, reprioritize cpu intensive processesUDF: _ini_to_dict, transforms ini file entries into variablesUDF: monitor_resolutions, returns resolutions of multiple monitorsReport Computer Problem, for your IT help deskProfile Fixer, fixes a 'missing' AD user profile

jftuga Posted December 12, 2006 Author Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) I got around to fixing a nagging bug that several people PM'd me about. In the ini file, this now works correctly:; x coord. of the window, default=515 (between the center & far right side)TopWin_X=515The binary is now built with AutoIt v 3.2.0.1.-John Edited December 12, 2006 by jftuga Admin_Popup, show computer info or launch shellRemote Manager, facilitates connecting to RDP / VNCProc_Watch, reprioritize cpu intensive processesUDF: _ini_to_dict, transforms ini file entries into variablesUDF: monitor_resolutions, returns resolutions of multiple monitorsReport Computer Problem, for your IT help deskProfile Fixer, fixes a 'missing' AD user profile
