Terminal Services Client (mstsc.exe)

by bizzo . Updated 17 years, 4 months ago

We have an application that starts a terminal services session by running the command:

mstsc “%r” /console

My question is how can I utilise “local devices” eg. local disks, using this command line?

I can do it from the gui that mstsc brings up if you run it without parameters, but just not from the command line.

Thanks.

Edit: Following on from some links from seanferd:

I’ve found that the app I’m using generates the RDP connection file. This link explains the file http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885187 . I am unable to amend this file as it is generated “on the fly”.

Settings for screen width and height can be overwritten by using the /w and /h switches. In this connection file, the parameter “redirectdrives” is set to 0 (do not redirect drives), is there a way to override this setting in a similar way to screen width and height?
