Hi All,
We are re-purposing our desktops using ThinPC and ran into an issue with the ScreenSaver on the Host OS. We've configured ThinPC to auto login using the "User" account. Once logged in the Vmware View Client is set as the shell which also auto logs into a view session. The ThinPC ScreenSaver is set as a picture slideshow which launches successfully when idle, but closes immediately and you are returned back to your virtual desktop. We noticed that this only happens if we have the :start and goto start in the .cmd file we have configured. Any ideas as to what might be causing the screen saver to close instantly? Any thoughts on a better approach? (note: the net use command gains us access to the a share since our ThinPC systems are non-domained)
Here is our configuration.
cd "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware View\Client\bin"
net use \\Server\share\share1 Password1 /USER:domainname\%computername%
:start
wswc.exe -userName %COMPUTERNAME% -domainName domainname -password Password1 -unattended -serverURL Connectionservername
goto start
