Nothing happens

[DimitarV]

Hi, I have added Chrome add on (0.1.8). On AWS EC2 page I see small RDP labels next to IPs, but on click nothing happens. Open in new tab, shows link similar to: rdp://username=s:Administrator&full%20address=s:<IP address>

what else have to be conferred to invite rdp client ? I'm running on Windows 10.

I'm not sure whats happening with Windows. According to the url scheme link in the README the code is generating the right links (I tested this on a new Server 2016 EC2 instance as my desktop is a mac).

That being said, when I click on things it does nothing. If I create a simple html page with a test link (like rdp://username=s:Administrator&full%20address=s:1.2.3.4:3389) and click on it in IE, I get "You'll need a new app to open this rdp". In chrome it just doesnt open (like you've mentioned).

I have no idea why MS decided to break their stuff. I investigated adding it to the registry but it looks fairly involved plus you'd have to somehow parse it as passing the url to the program failed for me: "%systemroot%\system32\mstsc.exe" "rdp://username=s:Administrator&full%20address=s:1.2.3.4:3389"

My only guess would be to install a 3rd party program that overrides Microsoft's URL handler and reassigns it as its own, so clicking the link would open said 3rd party program. I have no idea if any of the 'RDP Manager' style programs do this.

I'll leave this open and if I (or anyone else) get a chance to dive into it deeper.

Hi, Make it - what I did:

• get some ideas from here: http://www.jjclements.co.uk/2010/02/21/rdp-hyperlink/
• add rdp association into registry: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rdp] @="URL:Remote Desktop Connection" "URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rdp\DefaultIcon] @="C:\WINDOWS\System32\mstsc.exe"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rdp\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rdp\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\rdp\shell\open\command] @=""C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe" "C:\WINDOWS\hyperlink-rdp.js" "%1""

• create a parser (hyperlink-rdp.js) in c:\windows: var server=(WScript.Arguments(0)) var prefix='rdp://' var app='C:\WINDOWS\system32\mstsc.exe' server=server.replace(prefix, '') server=server.replace('/', '') label = "full%20address=s:" server = server.substring( server.indexOf(label)+label.length, server.length) var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell") shell.Exec(app + " /v:" + server)

Agree that https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-docs/compute/remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-uri is not working.
