There seems to be some confusion around the web about the Microsoft Service Pack 3 and RWW and RDP update.
Lots or people are thinking that Microsoft did something to break the RDP / RWW ( web components ) for Remote Desktop Web Component.
The fact is that Microsoft didn't really break the objects they just replaced them with a New Component and New Object Model.
This is an example of the classic / XP SP2 and below.
function ConnectRDPClassic(sServerName,sDomain,sUserId,sPassword,sStartProgram )
{
var resWidth = screen.width;
var resHeight = screen.height;
MsRdpClient = document.getElementById("MsRdpClient");
MsRdpClient.FullScreen = true;
MsRdpClient.DesktopWidth = resWidth;
MsRdpClient.DesktopHeight = resHeight;
MsRdpClient.Width = resWidth;
MsRdpClient.Height = resHeight;
MsRdpClient.server = sServerName;
MsRdpClient.Domain = sDomain;
MsRdpClient.UserName = sUserId;
MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings.ClearTextPassword=sPassword;
if (sStartProgram=='')
sStartProgram = '\"C:\\Windows\\system32\\notepad.exe\" \';
MsRdpClient.SecuredSettings.StartProgram = sStartProgram;
MsRdpClient.Connect();
}
Below is an example of executing the latest version of the RDP / RWW client.
This is how you would use the new version of RDP / RWW.
Note that I am using unescape on the sRDPFIle test like this unescape(sRDPFile);
I actually passed the RDP file contents to this function the data is url encoded why does it have to be this way im not totally sure but it works like a champ. If you need an example let me know.
Also note
function ConnectRDP61(sServerName,sDomain,sUser,sPassword,sRDPFile)
{
var resWidth = screen.width;
var resHeight = screen.height;
//Get Pointer to Object to Execute
MsRdpClient = document.getElementById("MsRdpClient");
MsRdpClient.FullScreen = true;
MsRdpClient.DesktopWidth = resWidth;
MsRdpClient.DesktopHeight = resHeight;
MsRdpClient.Width = resWidth;
MsRdpClient.Height = resHeight;
//Device redirection options
MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectDrives = false;
MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectPrinters = true;
MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectPorts = false;
MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectSmartCards = false;
//Set Settings and passed RDP File Content
MsRdpClient.MsRdpClientShell.PublicMode = false;
MsRdpClient.MsRdpClientShell.RdpFileContents = unescape(sRDPFile);
MsRdpClient.authenticationlevel = 2;
MsRdpClient.negotiatesecuritylayer = 1;
MsRdpClient.promptforcredentials = 0;
//Set User Credentials
MsRdpClient.TransportSettings2.GatewayDomain = sDomain;
MsRdpClient.TransportSettings2.GatewayUsername = sUser;
//MsRdpClient.TransportSettings2.GatewayPassword = sPassword;
//Execute the RDP Object
MsRdpClient.MsRdpClientShell.Launch()
}
