Hi Gang. Here's what I want to do:
Log on to a TS server with an administrative level account, and use a command
line to start an interactive app under another *already running* session.
For example, to launch an instance of notepad for someone who cannot figure
out how to click the Notepad.exe icon on their desktop, but without having
to shadow or remote control their session. Ideally this would be a scriptable
technique. It seems possible because there are tools that can kill such apps,
but I don't know of a way to launch them.
I don't think RunAs or PSrun using the credentials of the target session
are what I am looking for - these tools seem to start apps in a new, invisible
session which is inaccessible to users. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I've combed
over at least a dozen terminal services "tips and tools" sites and found
lots of interesting goodies, but nothing that seems to fit this description.
I am hoping something along the lines of C:\TSAppLauncherThingy.exe -a notepad.exe
-s SESSIONID would do the trick. Is there such a tool?
TIA
