Ability to initate/use an RDP session

If one of our employees wants to work from outside we give them access through ScreenConnect to their PC in the company. With WOL they are able to turn the PC on at any time they want.

A better way would be if ScreenConnect could initiate a new RDP session on a given terminal server where the user can logon with his credentials so that there is no need to use of an extra PC.

Option to create remote session instead of connecting to console by default

Many times, we connect to server console sessions that are locked or in use. We would like the option to create a new session, by default, on specific servers or groups of servers, instead of connecting to the console.

Wow!

It is 3 years ago that I've initiated this feature request and 3 years ago that Connectwise put this on state "Started". Any news on this?

Yes - you can choose an existing RDP session in connectwise control, but like Jeremy mentioned we would like to have a feature that:

- allows you to create a new RDP session with given user credentials

- allows you to connect to the new RDP session (only to this session and no other) with connectwise control

- don't allow you to see/join  RDP sessions of other users on the given machine

- option to use multiple monitors (mstsc.exe options span and/or multimon)

Hey there,

A method for discovering and joining RDP/VNC sessions from our UI is under development. Please keep an eye on this post for updates. 



Um...what?


The software already detects and lists active RDP sessions and allows you to select which one you want to connect to, as well as what account is logged on to each. It sounds like maybe you are talking about adding an option to access this feature from the web portal. That's not what this feature request is for, please create your own feature request if needed.


This request is to create a feature that allows you to create a new RDP session (probably on the loopback with your software handling the redirection of input/output) and allow users to connect to that new RDP session that did not exist when you first connected to the machine on the console (which may be in use) or other RDP sessions (also in use by other users).

This seems like a relatively basic feature that's been waiting for two years! Any update on this?

Very similar to mine!

I currently have a redirector setup doing the powershell RDP, but it's not very fast in connecting..

How do you do this? I don't have understanding how to establish RDP connection via ScreenConnect session. Can you explain this, please, or post script here? Googling not helped me.

How do you accomplish this? We are looking for a workaround until this gets implemented, bleeding over this limitation over here

We need to keep using RDP for server access for both the ability to have two simultaneous active/connected tech sessions as well as the ability to leave virtually unlimited number of disconnected tech sessions with processes running.


While we still need to be able to reconnect to our old disconnected RDP/console sessions through Control without getting hit with the consent requirement (which we only need for end-user computers), this gets us part of the way there.


If we could exclude the consent requirement from applying to disconnected RDP sessions as well as console sessions that are at the logon screen, we would be literally jumping up and down with excitement over here
