Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / Terminal Services / February 2005Auto Logon
I have two servers both win2003. One is a terminal server. Users have own computers with xp pro and log onto a doman. There are three applications on the terminal server and users can share and use any combination of those three apps. Question: I would like to have an icon on the user's desktops (remote desktop) that the users click and have them bring up a desktop with those three app's icons to select without logging on again since they have already been accepted by the domain. Seems so reasonable and easy so what am I missing? I can have them log in automatcally with the remote desktop app by saving the user info in there but that is not my choice because passwords change as well as computers, etc. and I want minimal correspondence with the user. Thanks in advance for any input. What you are missing is called "pass-through authentication". This is unfortunately not a native feature of Windows 2003. You'll need a 3th party add-on to get this functionality. What you can achieve with native Windows 2003 TS is to redirect the users desktop of the TS to a custom desktop folder, which contains only the shortcuts to these three applications. Use Folder Redirection in a GPO. -- Vera Noest MCSE, CCEA, Microsoft MVP - Terminal Server http://hem.fyristorg.com/vera/IT --- please respond in newsgroup, NOT by private email --- jhwrightiii@nospamatt.net.net wrote on 26 feb 2005 in microsoft.public.win2000.termserv.clients: > I have two servers both win2003.

It seems like a common sense native type add-on that I worked on trying to find for two days. >What you are missing is called "pass-through authentication". >This is unfortunately not a native feature of Windows 2003.
