SUMMARY
The CONNECT command connects a session to a computer you specify.
Syntax
connect [sessionID] [/password:password] [/server:servername]
[/dest:sessionname] [/v] [/?]
connect [sessionname] [/password:password] [/server:servername]
[/dest:sessionname] [/v] [/?]
Parameters
sessionID
Specifies the ID of the session.
sessionname
Identifies the name of the session. The name was created by the system
administrator when the session was configured.
/password:password
Specifies the password associated with the user of the session you want
to connect. It is required when the session belongs to a user that is
different from the current one.
/dest:sessionname
Connects the session to the destination computer name you specify. If a
session is currently connected at the computer, it is disconnected.
/server:servername
Specifies the Terminal Server to use. Otherwise, the current Terminal
Server is used.
/v (verbose)
Displays information about the actions being performed.
/? (help)
Displays the syntax for the command and information about the command's
options.
Security Restrictions
You can always connect to the session where you are currently logged on. To
connect to a different session, you must have Connect access permission for
the session.
CONNECT -- Additional Notes
If you specify a name of a session, it must identify an active session. The
/dest parameter allows you to connect a user's session to a different
computer. The computer must have an active connection to the Terminal
Server.
If you do not specify a password in the /password parameter, and the target
session belongs to a user that is different from the current one, connect
will fail.
Sessions disconnected from the Terminal Server cannot be connected to the
console. Sessions running at the system console cannot be disconnected.
CONNECT -- Examples
To connect session 12 to the current Terminal Server and disconnect the
current session, type:
To connect session 23 to the current Terminal Server, using the password
mypass, type:
connect 23 /password:mypass
To connect the session at computer TERM03 to computer TERM05, and then
disconnect the session at TERM05, if any, type:
connect TERM03 /v /dest:TERM05
