Setting default connections for all users on XPe?

[tshooter91]

Hello all,

We've purchased ApplicationServer licenses to use on our 2008 terminal servers for the next school year. We have new XP Embedded (XPe) thin clients from HP set up with v6.2 of the ApplicationServer client. (I know there is a newer version. We haven't updated yet.)

When a new user logs in on one of our thin clients, the 2x client says there are no connections and asks if we want to add one. I'd like to set the connection for all users so they don't have to know anything about connecting to the ApplicationServer. I'd like it to simply show icons for the applications they are allowed to use, preferably on the desktop.

We are running an AD environment, and the logins work fine.

Is there anything I can do to make this work? I just want the user to log in to the XPe screen and then see all the applications they have access to.

TIA,
Brian

You need to do the following:

1. Setup the connection configuration on the client
2. Use SSO so that the user does not need to enter any authentication
3. Set 2x client to start automatically at windows startup
4. Configure the application on the server to create a desktop icon
5. Ensure that the client allows the icon on the desktop

All these settings can be modified in the MSI before doing the actual installation, please check the manual
