Hi there,

When a user log in to the terminal server I want to automatically start a program and when he close the program it automatically logs off him.

I have already accomplished this by setting the program path in a Connection of the Client Connection Manager.
Since the user could manually clear this string and log in to the server and can see the dektop and play around with the server, I want to restrict him from doing this.

I do not want the user even to see the desktop. All he does is double click a shortcut in his local desktop for the client connection manager, that automatically logs him to the terminal server and OPEN the program AUTOMATICALLY and when he closes the program he is logged off from the server.

Is this possible?

Please guide in the right path.

Thanks,

Hameed


 
HI.

It's easy - you do it at the server.

Just open the user manager (local, active directory, or USRMGR if in NT domain), double click the user account and find "Environment" or another tab that has the option to specify program. I don't remember in which exact tab it is.

Bye
