RDP connection by making it .bat file

1

I want to automate the RDP connection by making a bat file. But it still keeps on asking me the password.

I created two files 1.hello.cmd 2.hello1.bat

In hello.cmd I had put 

cmdkey /generic:"ipaddress" /user:"username" /pass:"password"
rem cmdkey /generic:TERMSRV:"ipaddress" /user:"username" /pass:"password"

and in hello1.bat I created

mstsc /v:ipaddress

How do i correct this and make it automate

Please help!!!

This functionality was removed from the mstsc.exe application. I think you may do either of:

  • Save from RDP the connection details as an .rdp file and launch it directly or via mstsc.

  • Use PowerShell, for example the script Connect-Mstsc.ps1. You will find some more information on this post, google for details on individual commands.

Hi, thanks for your advice. I am a complete noob of using Powershell. Can you tell me how do I run the Connect-Mstsc.ps1? – B.B.M – 2019-05-27T07:05:43.550

The script is well documented. Search in it for examples, all headed by ".EXAMPLE" and followed by explanations in "Description". The parameters are defined first, each under ".PARAMETER". Pick your example and use it either from the PowerShell IDE or if your prefer from batch via the command powershell -Command "command-line-with-params". Google for information - there's lots of. – harrymc – 2019-05-27T08:14:01.867
