Hi

I am implementing a new server setup using W2003 Server and am wanting to
automate as much as possible during user logon. We currently have a small
peer2peer network. In the startup group of each machine there is are 2
applications that the users need - 1 is a hosted application using Remote
Desktop Connection and the other is an Internet link.

We are also having our central office people moving in who do not need these
application loading on startup. The current situation work well at present,
but when central office move in there will be an element of hotdesking.
Therefore I am looking at using scripts dependant on groups to change logon
applications.

I have already created a few vbs scripts (all PCs are XP) to map drives and
printers, but I can't find anything on starting Remote Desktop Connection
from within a script and was hoping that someone could point me in the right
direction.

Thanks
Tony

Can create a wscript.shell and run mstsc.exe run mstsc.exe /? to see
the argument list for the app.
