Detect Remote RDP Session??

Re: Detect Remote RDP Session??

I have not tried, but check it: P/Invoke call on GetSystemMetric s(0x1000).
Should return non-zero under Term. Services. 0, otherwise.

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if there is a way to detect from with a C# app if it is
being started in a remote session? i.e. someone has connected via remote
desktop or terminal services...

Thanks

Check the Process.Session Id property, if it's non zero it means you are
running in a TS session.

Re: Detect Remote RDP Session??

Thanks for the reply Siva, I don't suppose you could give me some more
information. I am not sure how to proceed. I would appreciate some actual
code if you can.

Thanks

Re: Detect Remote RDP Session??

I think this only works for .Net 2.0. I am using 1.1 still...

Re: Detect Remote RDP Session??

That's right, on v1.1 you'll have to PInvoke ProcessIdToSess ionId, something
like this will do:

[DllImport("Kern el32")
extern static int ProcessIdToSess ionId(int procId, out int sessId);

int procId = Process.getCurr entProcess().Id ;
int sessId = 0;

if(ProcessIdToS essionId(procId , out sessId) != 0)
{
if (sessId == 0)
// no TS
else
// in TS
}
else
// API call failed

Re: Detect Remote RDP Session??

Hi Wily,

I tried this

[DllImport("kern el32.dll")]
static extern bool ProcessIdToSess ionId(uint dwProcessId, out uint
pSessionId);
uint procId = System.Convert. ToUInt32(Proces s.GetCurrentPro cess().Id);
uint sessId = 0;
if(ProcessIdToS essionId(procId , out sessId))
{
if (sessId == 0)
{
// no TS
}
else
{
// in TS
}
}

but it is 0 for remote logins... Any other ideas??

Re: Detect Remote RDP Session??

I think I may have found the problem; the 'server' I am using is a WinXP Pro
machine... does this mean it will not work? MSDN documentation;

Re: Detect Remote RDP Session??

Windows client OS's don't run real TS sessions, they use TS technology to
present a remote desktop session (single session only), guess that's the
reason why 0 is returned.

Re: Detect Remote RDP Session??

Hi Willy (sorry for mis-spelling your name before),

Is there any way to tell if it is a remote desktop session that is running
on an XP machine or something that is not a server with a proper terminal
services session?
