Auto launch 2x - HP thin client

[pearsondan99]

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
