Start RDP sessions silently

[Sqweeksyg]

Hi OI,

When we start the RDP sessions from the SPP web page, Scalus opens the Windows cmd line, shows some commands and it closes.
Would it be possible to run it silently to avoid disturbing users during the connection establishment?

Thank you for your nice job!

Did you find a way to start the session silently?

Not yet...
@JaredCuster do you have any news?

Thank you!

Would be great if this silent opening could be done.

It seems to be hardcoded to run maximized in the terminal window. So i guess that has to be changed in the sourcecode.
But we can limit the amount of data thats is been shown to the user by editing the config file called appsettings.json under each users %localappdata%\scalus\ folder: By changing the "Console": true to false only the text community edition will now show in the terminal:

For all parameters I copy pasted from the wiki here:
Configuration
appsettings.json can be used to customize the runtime SCALUS behavior. Set MinLevel to Debug to get more detailed log file output. Set Console to true to log to the console window. Configuration files are stored in the user's profile folder as determined by the OS. Use the scalus info command to see full paths to log and configuration files.

{
"Logging": {
"FileName": "scalus.log",
"MinLevel": "Information",
"Console": true
},
"Configuration": {
"FileName": "scalus.json"
}
}
