VMware View 4 Client -

When you fire up the client, how can I set it to always use the "Display" setting to full screen or whatever we decide? It keeps stopping at that point and needs user interaction to select and click the "Connect" button. We want to set default values so it just strats right up.

Thanks

What's the switch param for "Log in as current user..."?

logInAsCurrentUser <xxx> -- Same behavior as if you select Log in as current user: <xxx> in the desktop dialog box. When specified, the identity and credential information that the user provided when logging in to the client system is passed to the View Connection Server instance and ultimately to the View desktop.

Switch param value: true or false

Create the shortcut to launch View Client in fully scripted mode:

"C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Client\bin\wswc" -serverURL &lt;server&gt; -userName &lt;username&gt; -password &lt;password&gt; -domainName &lt;domain&gt; -desktopName &lt;desktop&gt;

See more details: View Manager 4.0.1 Administration Guide page 115.

Also, what are the possible properties for the following switch? Where do I get the "desktopname"? Remember, I'm new at this so if sounds stupid let me know.

-desktopName

desktopName &lt;xxx&gt; -- Desktop name for the select desktop dialog box. Note: This is the name as you see it in the select desktop dialog box

"-desktopName" is a name of your desktop pool, whiсh you choose in View Client window.
