I have machines that multiple users log into. They all use RDP to log into a
terminal machine for work. We want them to log into the TS with a "location"
username, ie., giroom. This means that all the users will have the same
login name and password for the TS. We also want to save the password so
they log into the TS automatically because the TS login is a minimal rights
user and they still have to log into our application.

we tried creating a connection file under the "All Users" folder with the
password saved, but when we tried to log in under each user's local profile,
the password was not saved.

Is there an easy way to keep the saved password in that connection file for
each user? So far we have resorted to creating multiple RDP sessions, but as
we roll out new boxes this would be a nightmare to duplicate.

Thanks for the reply. This looks good. So, I should be able to distribute
this file, with the binary hash password in the file and it should stick for
all my users, correct?
