What is the setting or configuration change in Remote Desktop Connection to display the server information (Server name, IP addresses) when connected to a windows server 2003 server?

remote-desktop windows-server-2003

  1. You might be thinking of BGinfo?

    EDIT to add: If you put this line in a logon script for the system (or the user profile, GPO, whatever your preferred way), you'll get the BGinfo information "tattoo" on your desktop without actually installing BGinfo to the system:

    \\server\share\bginfo.exe /I\\server\share\bginfo-std.bgi /accepteula /timer:0

    This assumes you've previously run BGinfo to create the bginfo.bgi config file, and placed it and the bginfo executable at \\server\share

  2. \\live.sysinternals.com\Tools\Bginfo.exe is on the internet (via smb or CIFS)... your going to take a performance hit if you use it but at least you do not have install on the local network.
