If you are looking for a way to automate data from an RDP session, you have come to the right place. In this blog post, we will show you how to use a free tool called AutoHotkey to automate data entry from an RDP session.
First, you will need to download and install AutoHotkey. Once you have done that, you will need to create a new script file. To do this, right-click on your desktop and select New>AutoHotkey Script.
Next, you will need to copy and paste the following code into your new script file:
#NoEnv
SendMode Input
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%
rdp_hostname := “192.168.1.1”
rdp_username := “USERNAME”
rdp_password := “PASSWORD”
Run, mstsc.exe /v:%rdp_hostname%,, Hide
WinWait, ahk_exe mstsc.exe
if (ErrorLevel) {
MsgBox, Unable to launch RDP client.
ExitApp
}
WinWaitActive, ahk_exe mstsc.exe
if (ErrorLevel) {
MsgBox, RDP client window not found.
ExitApp
}
Sleep, 1000
Send, %rdp_username%{Tab}
Send, %rdp_password%{Enter}
Sleep, 1000
; — YOUR AUTOMATION CODE HERE —
The first thing you will need to do is update the rdp_hostname, rdp_username, and rdp_password variables with the appropriate values for your RDP connection.
Next, you will need to add your automation code between the two lines that say ; — YOUR AUTOMATION CODE HERE –. For example, if you wanted to automate a login to a website, you could add the following code:
url := “https://www.example.com/login”
username := “USERNAME”
password := “PASSWORD”
Run, chrome.exe %url%,, Hide
WinWait, ahk_exe chrome.exe
if (ErrorLevel) {
MsgBox, Unable to launch Chrome.
ExitApp
}
WinWaitActive, ahk_exe chrome.exe,, 10
if (ErrorLevel) {
MsgBox, Chrome window not found.
ExitApp
}
Sleep, 1000
Send, %username%{Tab}
Send, %password%{Enter}
Sleep, 1000
