The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Terminal Server Web Access Menu with Two Menu Choices

Asked by dcohn in Remote Desktop/Terminal Services, Windows 2003 Server

I am looking to find a simple way to offer users the option of running application A or application B from the terminal server.  This is a NON AD environment.  It is simply two servers in a data center running an accounting application.  One is the terminal server and the Other is Microsoft Dynamics.

I would love a script that I run from each users environment that gives them a prompt to choose the app they desire.  Select it and the app runs.  Close it and TS closes.  

We are in the process of migrating from one version to another and must offer both versions.

Do not want to use Local RDP files since the users can change then and get a desktop.

I realize this is not simple (I said simple sorry)  but even a TSWEB Page with the two options would suffice as I could blank the users desktops if they choose to log in locally.

I have this HTA sample which works but never closes and is buggy.  It hangs and it must be saved locally and run as I will not enable HTA.  It must be pretty old stuff.  I found it here.    http://dev.remotenetworktechnology.com/tools.htm   I also tried the RDSHELL.exe but it errors out and does not really give an option from the text I read.

Thanks very much
