Remote Desktop Web Connection Client Security

Updated: January 21, 2005

To allow clients to protect themselves from potentially untrustworthy servers, some properties of the Remote Desktop Web Connection ActiveX component object are restricted to certain Internet Explorer security zones. This means that when a Web user accesses the page from a computer in a less secure zone, these properties are disabled.

Some of these restricted properties are:

StartProgram

Specifies a program to start upon connection.

WorkDir

Specifies the working directory for the program specified in StartProgram.

FullScreen

Specifies whether the connection will be displayed as full screen or windowed mode.

Servers using Remote Desktop Web Connection can display these restricted properties in the following Internet Explorer security zones:

Trusted Sites

Servers using Remote Desktop Web Connection cannot display restricted these properties in the following zones:
