This little feat has been bugging me for quite some time... I work in a firm and we plan to create and deploy some XPpro Virtual Machines which will be available to our users. What I'm trying to do is write a script that determines which is the next available VM and connect to it via RDP... I haven't found any application that can do that. The way that I've tried to approach it is to determine weather the VM's 3389 port is in Listening or Established Mode and take the first one I find in Listening and Connect to it, but haven't found any utility to help me along... Any ideas???

As far as I know, with Bridged networking, then the VM will operate exactly as a native machine, so it's more of a config thing.
I would be surprised if you can achieve what you're trying in a native environment, let alone VM... ?

I have been exploring other options... either using the domain's MOM Server to extract a table of the available machines (which is costly since it would require a MOM Agent for each VM) or using the new TS Gateway for Server 2008 to manage the whole thing (Somehow!!)... Anyway the battle rages on and I'm still open to suggestions...
