If you want to connect to the desktop of a WIN server, just create in object manager a new object named "desktop server XXXXX", put in the application command line "c:\windows\explorer.exe", and in host tab the desired server (XXXXX), then give the new object to the user you want.

That would make a normal RDP connection to an rdp-session on the windows server.

A console connection is a different connection (more like vnc/dameware) to connect to session 0.

Information on the console connection:

PS When leaving the application field empty will make a desktop (not console) rdp connection. It is not needed to specify the explorer.exe

right. in object manager create an object named as you want with "c:\windows\system32\console.bat" in application command, and edit a batch in with the line "mstsc -v:XXXXX /F -console". Assign it to a user with admin rights.

What we currently have is the following:

SGD object connect via RDP to Windows Terminal Host and starts the application: mstsc /v:servername /console /f

In this manner we make a double RDP connection (same as you (zzmax65) specified, but withou an extra bat-file). First to a Windows Terminal Server and then to the application we need to connect to.

What we want to do is to make an object which directly makes the console connection.

The /opt/tarantella/bin/bin/ttatsc does not have a parameter for the console connection, but since SGD should be 100% RDP 5.1 compliant there should be a way.

In the article you posted (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278845/ )

I can read:

MORE INFORMATION

In Windows Server 2003, when you use Terminal Services, you can connect to the console session (session 0), and at the same time, open a shadow session to it (as long as you connect from a session other than the console). With this added functionality, you can log on to a Windows Server 2003-based server that is running Terminal Services remotely and interact with session 0 as if you were sitting at the physical console of the computer. This session can also be shadowed so that the remote user and the local user at the physical console can see and interact with the same session.

if I connect via the command mstsc -v:servername /F -console as you describe, in task manager I see my connection with id 0...

You are again correct, but that is still not the answer to my question.I don't want to have a rdp session over an rdp session. Just connect to the console directly from SGD. In this way we can remove the Windows server in between and save costs.

there is a new feature in SGD 4.31 that allows for Windows Console support

In a Windows object's protocol arguments

http://docs.sun.com/source/820-1088/attr_scottaprotocolarguments.html

you can now specify "-console". As a test you can run the 'ttatsc' from an SGD hosted xterm, konsole or dtterm as

/opt/tarantella/bin/bin/ttatsc -console <terminal server>

let us know if this works for you. This is only available starting in version 4.31.905.
