command line use doesn't support bypassing Windows welcome screen #69

lintopaul commented 10 years ago

I'm looking for an option to send [OK] to the welcome screen when launching RDP as:

open rdp://[username[:password]@]hostname[:port][/domain][?parameters]

The password provided gets lost as the RDP screen waits for you to physically hit [OK] to continue and then type in the password manually. Please help me bypass this and have an automated login.

I'm aware we can edit the group policy or registry settings on windows but this is not an option in corporate environment where you don't have access to manage the windows servers.

This isn't a feature CoRD will be adding, even if it was technically possible (which its not, as far as I know). Bypassing corporate restrictions is not something built into the RDP protocol; and if it were, would anybody really be comfortable with such a gaping security/policy hole?

I can appreciate the desire to make your life easier and have a one-click launcher to jump to your desktop, but this particular issue is something you need to take up with your IT department, not with CoRD.
