[SOLVED] Multiple instances of Edge on Terminal Server

Copper Contributor

Hello,

 

I am trying to figure out how I can setup some thin clients that connect to a terminal server to open specific web pages in Chromium Edge. Easy Right?

 

The catch, these thin clients connect to the terminal server many times as the same user. Each currently uses IE to open web pages in kiosk mode. But if I try to change this to edge for the auto logon piece, only the first session to connect will load edge, after that it fails to open edge.

 

I've tried --new-window flag, along with --start-fullscreen and --kiosk flags, and --no-first-run

 

Is there anything I'm missing, how can I accomplish this?

the Answer was --user-data-dir  and changing that to something specific for each session.

hello, May I ask you a question? I encountered the same problem when multiple users connect to a terminal server, they could not open edge at the same time. When the first user opens edge, the edge window opened by the other user will come to the first user's session. How could I fix it?
