Automatically Bypass Logon Message Screen
Hey Guys -
This is more of an annoyance than anything else, but have been meaning to post for a while, now.
As many, I connect to many Windows sessions daily. Our company / domain has a policy which shows a disclaimer upon login (screenshots below.) It's a standard Windows GP setting and clicking OK allows you to continue.
My question is, is there any way to have RDM bypass this screen or basically send an "Enter" command a couple of seconds after initializing the connection? I considered the feature to run an application after connecting, but don't know what to run.
Just thought I'd ask - Thanks!

Hello,
There sure is!
Session properties - events - after connect, typing macro.
The macro should be just one keyword, {ENTER} (The full list is linked in that help button to the right)
Maybe you will have to fiddle with the Initial Wait in order to leave enough time to the session to establish itself and the prompt to appear.
As always, when you know there's a macro on a session, use you favourite way to launch it, then let go of everything until the macro completes ;). It does send keyboard commands and you want them to be performed in the desired session, not in your navigation tree view.
Best regards,
Maurice
Sorry for the extremely late reply, but just remembered the post again this morning. I found it, tried it, and it worked! The only additional thing i must do is for local systems must have it wait 1 second before executing the command.
I tried to find a way to add this to groups of my RDP connections, but didn't see the option unfortunately. If you know of a way, it would be helpful. If not, no big deal.
Thanks again!
Hi bzowk,
There's a way to add a typing macro to several RDP sessions at the same time.
Select the RDP sessions that you want to add a macro and click on Edit -> Batch Edit -> Edit Sessions (General Settings)

I have tried Maurice's suggestion but it is not working for me when connecting to a Windows Server 2012 R2 device. I have added delays and upped the initial delay, but it is not working. When I see the logon message, I can see the script it executing but it is not executing the Enter key.
Hello,
One of the problems is that the inner RDP window cannot grab focus. We've tried many variants and there's nothing bullet proof.
Could you just click once in the rdp session as soon as it appears to see if I'm right.

Maurice, I just tried, still no luck. I have the initial delay set to 4 seconds and as soon as I see the logon message, I click multiple times inside the RDP window and I can see executing script, but it still does not execute the Enter key.
please right-click on the entry, use clipboard copy
Paste it in an email, and most importantly replace sensitive values with XXXXXX
send it to ticket@devolutions.net, or by private message in the forum, I will have a look

Fiddling with it I saw that the Accept button in the banner is not in focus when the session is first established. I ended up changing the macro to {TAB}{ENTER} to make it work.
Glad to see that it works with this modification, thank you for letting us know.
