Question : Visio
|
|
Hey folks... I'm not sure if this is easily do-able.
I would like to create a dynamic Visio network file with graphical servers/computer/networks shown so that I can attach some links, click on an image to a remote site and logon with terminal services.
Any ideas or solutions?

Basically, yes, it's possible. First of all, register the rdp files properly. Open a command shell. Enter assoc .rdp This should come back with ".rdp=RDP.File" Now enter ftype RDP.File It'll probably tell you it's not associated with anything. If so, enter ftype RDP.File=C:\Windows\system32\mstsc.exe "%1" Next, create rdp files for the servers you want to connect to, and save them. Finally, in Visio, highlight the shape you want to attach a link to; then press or, from the "Insert" menu, choose "Hyperlink". In the Address field, browse to the appropriate .rdp file. When you now move the mouse over the shape, you'll notice that the cursor will change; right-click the shape, and you'll have the shortcut in the context menu. Start it, answer "Yes" to the two security warnings popping up, and you should connect.
