Windows RDP
I am testing RDM for our organization.
One issue I'm having is with the RDP password entry options.
The servers we maintain are required to have the "require password" option set at the domain GPO level, so we cannot change that.
I was wondering if it's possible to use a macro or an auto type script to do the password entry for us?
Also, the keep alive doesn't appear to be working. i set it to 60 seconds, but still after the 5 minute time out, it still disconnects.
Any assistance would be great!

Hi,
It's possible to use a macro but I'm not really sure if it will work. For the keep alive it's usually overridden by the GPO.

I can't get the macro to execute until after I put in the password.
Is there a method to get it to type on a popup password prompt?
THanks for the reply
What do you mean but until I put the password? You can add a delay into the macro.

When I initiate the connection, a pop up appears prompting me for the password. It isn't until AFTER I enter this password that the macro begins. I assume it's because the connection isn't started until I authenticate.
The option "before connection" doesn't appear to have typing command variables.
I would need a macro that recognizes a new window prior to establishing a connection.
Is it in external or embedded mode?

embedded mode.
When I start the session, a password prompt immediately presents itself in a popup. After I put in my credentials, THEN the RDP session is initiated.
It is in the password prompt that I need to auto type the password.
RDP requires the password before it initiates the connection.
Could you make a small video capture?
