Terminal Services API

Question

Has anyone used the Terminal Services API? I'm needing to use it to log into a system using my credentials and run a particular app. Any examples would be appreciated.

Personally I would use WMI as long as this is a windows machine we are talking about. Below is a good place to start. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa389769.aspx using System; using System.Management; public class InvokeMethodAsync { private bool isComplete = false ; private ManagementBaseObject returnObject; public InvokeMethodAsync() { // Get the object on which the method // will be invoked ManagementClass processClass = new ManagementClass( "Win32_Process" ); // Create a results and completion handler ManagementOperationObserver handler = new ManagementOperationObserver(); handler.Completed += new CompletedEventHandler( this .Completed); // Invoke method asynchronously ManagementBaseObject inParams = processClass.GetMethodParameters( "Create" ); inParams[ "CommandLine" ] = "calc.exe" ; processClass.InvokeMethod( handler, "Create" , inParams, null ); // Do something while method is executing while (! this .IsComplete) { System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000); } } // Property allows accessing the result // object in the main function private ManagementBaseObject ReturnObject { get { return returnObject; } } // Delegate called when the method completes // and results are available private void NewObject(object sender, ObjectReadyEventArgs e) { Console.WriteLine( "New Object arrived!" ); returnObject = e.NewObject; } // Used to determine whether the method // execution has completed private bool IsComplete { get { return isComplete; } } private void Completed(object sender, CompletedEventArgs e) { isComplete = true ; Console.WriteLine( "Method invoked." ); } public static void Main() { InvokeMethodAsync invokeMethod = new InvokeMethodAsync(); return ; } } This code was taken from the MSDN site. But this has a great method for invokeing calc.exe Hope this helps.
