Wow - just saw that it is 6 years and 60 likes ago for this feature request and we're still using ScreenConnect and we also still have the need for this feature!
After 5 years and several "started" and "under review" tag changes I would like to hear, if anything is on the way!?!
Yes, there is one approach: the bridge extension. But it isn't really usable for our case. In this thread there are really good ideas for integrating RDP that would give much more opportunities for using connectwise control!
Did you test the bridge extension already?

Great work - almost ;-)
I love to see this solution and after a quick look I have these suggestions:
1. You'll have to fill in and save user credentials to use/initiate an RDP connection. If you don't enter and save the logon credentials in the bridge entry a blank screenconnect window is opened and you don't have a chance to put in your credentials manually. E.g. we want to offer this to our staff to initiate an RDP connection over SC with their credentials. Do you have any idea to solve this?
2. It would be fine if the RDP resolution could fit automatically to the size of the SC window. Giving a start resolution is great but if you could change the resolution by maximizing the window and resize the resolution of the RDP session that would be a great improvement.
3. I don't know how you managed it technically. Looking at the options of mstsc.exe these options could be really very interesting to see in the RDP implementation of thebridge, too:
- /prompt - Prompts you for your credentials when you connect to the remote PC
- /multimon - Configures the Remote Desktop Services session monitor layout to be identical to the current client-side configuration.
- /span - Matches the remote desktop width and height with the local virtual desktop, spanning across multiple monitors, if necessary. To span across monitors, the monitors must be arranged to form a rectangle.
- /f - Starts Remote Desktop in full-screen mode.
- /admin - Connects you to the session for administering a remote PC.
While working to solve this please have a look at another RDP feature request:
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)
This is a great idea: Passwords are dead, 2fa services are the future! Please add this to control.
We're using nextcloud which supports multiple 2fa authentication options. After putting in your username and password you can choose one out of the option that is configured in the user's configuration. In this example below you have the choice at the same time between:
- Authentification over the Nextcloud iOS app
- TOTP app (Google Authenticator)
- Yubikey
What about putting the part of the AD integration into a Windows Guest Client that runs on a machine (running 24x7) inside the AD. The SC server on linux would be able to get/sync the AD information through the guest client.
Even cloud instances could use this way to get AD integration.
+1 in times of encryption I agree as well that this has to be a no-brainer add-on.

Still working with ScreenConnect and waiting for this little feature…
„Started“?!? Could this be true?
