AutoView - making a thin client out of fat hardware

[justin_emerson]

For those of you looking to take your old PCs and convert them to unmanaged "thin-client-like" devices, check out my latest blog entries here:

I recently wrote a set of scripts called "AutoView", which takes care of configuring a WinXP, WinFLP, or XP Embedded client with a user account that will auto-logon and launch the View Client as its shell.

I hope you all find this useful! I still recommend thin clients over converted desktop PCs, but not all customers have this option.

You can also just download AutoView from here.

Hello. I tried your autoview suggestion and it worked great. I was wondering if you know of a way i can make the client log on automatically to the view server ( so the user doesnt need to click on connect and have the client automatically connect to a clone pc in the pool.

Thanks much
