Hi Guys, I m hoping some has done this before we have a fleet of HP T5730 thin clients with the latest firmware (winxp embeded) i d like to set them up to auto start into 2X so that all the user sees is the 2X logon prompt, I ve done this before with Citrix no worries but am stumped with 2X :-( I ve noticed in the 2X windows client there are two executables; TSclient.exe and appserverclient.exe after a bit of googling i noticed that appserverclient.exe looks good, I tried running it from the command line to simulate a script change to the windows shell using commands like; appserverclient.exe -sX.X.X.X -a"%published desktop name" -u%a username% -p%a password% but no joy all it does it launch the 2x client but not the published desktop hoping someone has done this! cheers in advance Dan
I would recommend you to read the manual see extract below, however you can set the 2x client to be auto start when windows starts and you can even set application to be autostart just create a shortcut in the windows startup folder. Command Line Parameters for TSClient TSCient.exe [c:\Program Files\2X\VDS\TSClient.exe] is a 2X client that enables you to connect to your terminal server connections. There are two ways which can be used to connect to you terminal server(s): Command Line Parameters The following parameters can be used in command line with 2X Terminal Server Client: s! Primary Connection b! Secondary Connection t! Port Number u! User (user@domain) q! Clear text password d! Domain (not needed if included with the username) m! Mode number (0: Regular Gateway, 1: Direct Connection. 2: SSL) o! Use SSO (1: Use SSO, 0: Do not use SSO) i! Connection alias p! Override server application arguments (Used with applications, ex: Notepad)When using the command line for Terminal Server Connections, and using the TSClient, please make sure that the single quotes in the name of the connection are replaced with a double single quote. Example:- s! = ‘se’’ve’’’ 2XA Files TSClient.exe can also be used to launch to connect to a terminal server by using a 2XA file as a parameter. 2XA Generator is a command line utility to create 2xa files. 2xa files contain the required information to launch a published item. To use 2XA Generator, run 2XAGen.exe [c:\Program Files\2X\VDS\2XAGen.exe] in a command prompt and pass the appropriate parameters.
