Meshcentral: Add Support for Windows Session Selection for Desktop

[imposhster]

When supporting environments where there are multiple users logged into a single device (servers and terminal services sessions) It would be useful to be able to select the session ID based on ID and/or username that I would like to shadow using Desktop.

MeshCentral 2 has TCP tunnelling capabilities. User could use MeshCmd to create tunnels to any TCP port at device through MeshAgent connection.

For this shadowing, I think it will be easily achievable using native MSRDP application tunneled through MeshAgent tunnel relay.

MeshCmd can do this or you can try my mc2router application.

Let me know if this help.

The original post was about something different. I will check with Bryan, it may be possible. I think we have a way to enumerate users currently logged into the system and should be able to use that information to select the session. Right now, we use the default local desktop all the time. I really need to install Windows server and start doing more testing on this topic. Probably something that will come later as was are a bit swamped with more critical bugs right now.

I'm also interested in this feature..
Thanks

I did check with Bryan (krayon007) and he will be looking into this one. As a way of introduction, Bryan is focused on the MeshCentral2 agent while I do the server/webapp. Right now we remote desktop "zero", the physically attached one, but should be able to switch.

Yes, I'm interested too.
Thank you

have you seen this project https://github.com/sshtools/rdp2vnc? This may help in solving the issue.

We have code to select the session already, we just need to retool the ux and the ipc to the child process to pass the session ID.

WOW, you did it! 🥇
but when there are many users, the session selection list does not scroll. Fix please.

Can you open a new issue about the session selection list not scrolling? This is an old thread and will close it. This way, I can track issues correctly. Thanks.
