Setting up unattended access using repeater

Post by Unit_1000 »

Hello,
First, yes I searched the FAQ and the whole forum for this.

Question about setting up unattended access on a client using the repeater in Mode 2.
How do you get the client machine to login to the Repeater automatically on bootup (or on switching users)

Everything else seems to be working.

I have the Repeater running on a Win7 box.

On the client machine I have UVNC Server running as a service. If I ADD CLIENT then enter my Repeater IP and ID:XXXX, it works and shows up on the Repeater under Waiting Servers on the repeater. I can then login remotly using UVNC Viewer with my client ID:XXXX and checking Proxy and providing Repeater IP:port. It all works.

But... How do you get the client machine using UVNC Server as a service to login to the Repeater automatically on bootup (or on switching users)??

Thanks,
Rob

the magic trick is the "service_commandline" in the ultravnc.ini file.

sample

Code: Select all

service_commandline=-autoreconnect ID:1234 -connect x.x.x.x (repeater) 
In that case the server try in a loop to make connections to the repeater and each time the connect drop he reconnect.


command line is the same, but you need to add -run at the end
sample

Code: Select all

winvnc.exe  -autoreconnect ID:1234 -connect x.x.x.x -run
