Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>work_remotely (more info?)

Dear all,

I am looking for a solution of my specific problem for a long time, no
success yet. I hope to find an answer here.

Here is what I want to do:
I am administrating 5 visualisation PC's that show animations (being
computed live) in OpenGL. I would like to run the visualisation remotely. So
what I want to do is login into all the PC's with a specific account and
start the software. This is the same for all PC's, the rest is pre-configured.

However:
- RemoteDesktop does not because it locks the screen
- any SysInternals PS(...) tools did not work as I don't want to interact
with the application
- VPN software does not allow me to login automatically via script etc.
- automatic login and autostart does not apply for security reasons.

Is there any posibility to log into a PC remotely *not* locking the screen
and run an OpenGL application that is shown on the remote PC only?

With regards, Morten.

Script that automatically logs on and starts the visualization - that you
can start remotely either by a reboot or PSEXEC or something similar (even a
scheduled task...)

At least that is what I would do.

Thanks for the answer!

> Script that automatically logs on and starts the visualization
That sounds promising! How But how do I write a script that actually logs
on? I am familiar with scripting (VBScript at least), but never did a login
script.
And where would I put the script? In the "run" section of the Windows
Registry or alike? If you'd guide me a little more I really might succeed
this time...

PSExec I already tried btw... but I had troubles _not_ to have the console
output on the remote machine. Furthermore the remote machine need to run all
the time which is not always the case (I might have to switch off the remote
machine sometimes).

Have you looked at "rasdial" in a batch file?

No, but I don't want to conect via RAS - the computers are in an (internal)
LAN, connected directly through a switch..
