[K12OSN] K12LTSP and Windows Terminal Server 2003

[Doug Gough]

Intriguing idea. How about this....

Make several rdp icons on the linux user's desktop, each one calling a
different batch file on the 2003 server, but logging in with the regular
user's credentials. The batch files would launch the application. Kinda
hard to explain, but something like this:

rdp 111.222.333.444 -s nameofbatchfile.bat

This way (I'm kinda groping in the dark) wouldn't the person be asked
for normal authentication, but then automatically run the batch file
after they log in? If the batch files contained the commands to start
your program, then you could have several rdp icons on the user's
desktop that called different batch files to launch different
programs.....maybe....I haven't actually tried this.

 What I have setup is a a user account for each program that is run on
the 2003 server. In the properties for that user, told it to open the
program when the user logs in.

Then on the Linux server made a icon on the desktop that connects to
the 2003, and opens the program; when they close the program they are
disconnected from the session. Making it look like the program is
being run on Linux.
           rdesktop -u username -p password 192.168.0.3
I have had some problems getting the users to save work back to their
home folders, because permissions are based on user names.
