Windows 7 Connecting to RDP automatically with AD credentials.

Hi Dave, It sounds like you want to set up a kiosk-like environment on your domain-joined computers, where users logging in with Active Directory credentials will automatically launch a Remote Desktop session to a terminal server through a VPN connection. This setup can be achieved by configuring the computers to automatically run a script or a program upon user login. Here's a general outline of the steps you can take to accomplish this: 1. Create a Script or Program: - You can create a script or program that initiates the Remote Desktop connection to the terminal server. This script or program should include the necessary credentials for the RDP session. 2. Set Up Group Policies: - Utilize Group Policies to set up the script or program to run automatically when users log in. You can configure this through Group Policy Objects (GPO) in Active Directory. 3. Configure Startup Scripts: - You can configure startup scripts in Group Policy to run the script or program when a user logs in. This ensures that the RDP session launches automatically without user intervention. 4. Testing and Deployment: - Test the setup on a test machine to ensure that the Remote Desktop session connects successfully with the provided AD credentials. Once validated, deploy this configuration to all relevant domain-joined computers. By following these steps, you can create a locked-down environment where users logging in will be automatically connected to the terminal server via Remote Desktop. Make sure to test thoroughly before deploying this configuration in a production environment. If you need more specific guidance on any of these steps or encounter any issues during the setup, feel free to ask for further assistance.
