I often have to work across several virtual machines through RDP. I used to work with Terminals, and recently changed to mRemote NG.
As of now, I have a checklist that I run on each new VM I create, in order to populate the desktop with the shortcuts and apps that I use regularly. Then, I create a checkpoint and use that when I need to revert to a "clean" machine. However, it's not always practical, and the VMs I have to use are not always created by me so that checkpoint is not always available.
I know that I could use a template when creating the VM, but it doesn't solve the problem when I have to use VMs that I do not own.
Does anyone know of a way to setup one set of shortcuts/apps and be able to launch them on a remote desktop connection easily? Kind of like a toolbar that is present wherever I'm logged on...
1Are these machines part of a domain? – Keltari – 2013-06-28T14:39:06.853
@Keltari yup, they're all part of the same domain. – Joe – 2013-06-28T15:24:56.807
what kind of apps are you talking about? – Keltari – 2013-06-28T15:39:10.520
Anything you could add to a shortcut, really. It could be a link to specific network folders that I use all the time, applications that don't require a local installation and can run from network folders such as Process Explorer... – Joe – 2013-06-28T19:10:52.037
