Start a program in Terminal Services Win2K3
I reference question ID:22457941.
I have the same issue when I attempt to use JPSOFT TakeCommand instead of a Batch file.
I want something that is not so ugly to present to the user a choice of starting two spplications.
I have written a rather crude cmd file (see snippet of it below)
This works and does what I desire.
This server is NOT in a domain. There are only 8 or 10 users that require this so editing their environment works. It is a server that is remote hostyed running their accounting application.
I would love a sample of a VBscript that would give me a prompt with a choice for the user preferably to click one of two icons for application A or B and possibly a cancel as well.
Thanks very much

I understand what is available at a price. A Microsoft MVP telling me to buy lousy third party products. Neither of those products are well written from my experience. 2X Application server is awful.
I already have a working solution but it was ugly. If I knew how to write in VBscript I would have no issues.
I was able to fix my issue with 4NT and create a Gui menu that comes up after login for which ever users I set it in their environment (with AD you can use GPO's).
It works perfectly.
Basically my users type an answer to a question and get the version they desire.
Perfect and does not cost a cent.

Sorry. I posted that to the wrong thread actually.
I am a dummy.
I was not happy with 2X cause the users could not figure out what to do with it and it would have required a manual install at each station. Not very slick group of users but that is far from unusual.
It was a web link where you have to download the 2X app if I recall correctly. Then they could run the apps that we setup for them depending on what group they were in. Is that 2X???
It worked surely but in the testing 2 out of 3 users could not get it done without assistance.
Again I should not have replied. I am sorry. You were surely just truly to assist.
