Hi,

Please make sure domain, username and password are correct. Try to connect manually using the same credentials.
What OS are you running it on / connecting to?

I tested on windows 7 and windows 10. Computer does not have domains. So I completed only hostname. Username and password

my compiled version https://mega.nz/#!jSAS1AwY!2RqwnME2UhbzVgWeJ_irRasXUxJIoNAjw9o0Uhedsi0
i completed only hostname field, username, and password!
if you have already compiled and working version, please share link, best regards

If I understand it correctly, then using windows remote desktop client you can connect to the machine specified in "hostname" by using "username" and "password".
But the RdpKeeper service gives you "Access denied".

Please try to run RdpKeeper.Console with the same config file and post the output, it should look like this:

26.06.2019 0:20:08      Information     Host: upc User:\Lubo RDP Connection start DesktopWidth:1080 DesktopHeight:1920

Please try to run RdpKeeper.Console with the same config file and post the output, it should look like this:




i received different output for running console, what's next?

But the RdpKeeper service gives you "Access denied".

I created 1st release v1.0 from binaries on my computer, which is confirmed to work. Please try to download zip and run RdpKeeper.Console again.

Hi. Thanks a lot, after a few hours, I will check. Best regards

as i see from console, you use absolute path to .DLL, when i running rdp console, i give error that cannot find libfreerdp_utils, and path to this app, is absolute to your path from where folder stored.

when you compile and run software, on your PC can work perfectly, because path are valid, but in my case it's not working.

i can donate to receive functional solution!
how it working your software (working principle)? on system level, this tool keep rdp connection active, locally?

[publee]

There are no absolute paths, I downloaded and extracted RdpKeeper.Console-1.0.zip on different computer with w10 64bit and it is working. I have no 32bit OS, so I cannot test.
I use that succesfully on windows server at work to keep RDP session to localhost opened forever.
No need to donate, I do my best to make it working.
Prefered way is to run the service locally on automation server which will keep one or more RDP connections to localhost opened forever. But it should work properly also over network.

Based on the error message, looks like the problem is with 32/64 bits. Is your windows 64bit? Can you try to run it on 64bit os?

i tried on windows 10 x64, so as i understand, i need to run rdpkeeper console not from RDP, only from console mode?
i can run it using psexec to run from another user remotely?
what i do:
i completing RdpKeeper.Console.exe.config with my local username and password that i logged in system
when i runnin RdpKeeper.Console.exe , i was logged out. all correct?
so, all working 👍

But it should work properly also over network.

how to use it?

[publee]

RdpKeeper.Console.exe is just to test, if it works fine please try to install RdpKeeper.Service using same username/password/host

Over the netwok means that instead of using Hostname="localhost" specify compter name or IP address

[publee]

i can run it using psexec to run from another user remotely?

No need for psexec, the RdpKeeper.Console/RdpKeeper.Service can run under any account. Important is to have proper credentials in .config file

ok, i will try to install service later, thanks, best regards
