Create an hMailServer Link on your Client Desktop

If you run hMailServer then you are aware that it includes an application called hMailServer Administrator. This application allows you, as the name might imply, to perform all the administrative functions for hMailServer. This includes such things as adding or deleting domains and adding or deleting email addresses. The only problem is that this application runs on the server. So, if you want to create a new email address you need to remote desktop into the server to do it. This wiki will show you another way. You still have to remote desktop into the server but this makes it much quicker and more convenient.

What you will need
  • Notepad or other text editor
What to Do

Open up Notepad on your client computer and type or copy and paste in the following:


screen mode id:i:1
session bpp:i:32
desktopwidth:i:900
desktopheight:i:600
winposstr:s:0,0,400,200,1300,785
full address:s:<your server name here>
compression:i:1
keyboardhook:i:2
audiomode:i:0
redirectprinters:i:0
redirectcomports:i:0
redirectsmartcards:i:1
redirectclipboard:i:1
redirectposdevices:i:0
drivestoredirect:s:
displayconnectionbar:i:1
autoreconnection enabled:i:0
authentication level:i:0
prompt for credentials:i:1
negotiate security layer:i:1
remoteapplicationmode:i:0
alternate shell:s:c:\program files\hMailServer\bin\hmailadmin.exe
shell working directory:s:C:\Program Files\hmailserver\
disable wallpaper:i:0
disable full window drag:i:0
allow desktop composition:i:1
allow font smoothing:i:1
disable menu anims:i:0
disable themes:i:0
disable cursor setting:i:0
bitmapcachepersistenable:i:1
gatewayhostname:s:
gatewayusagemethod:i:4
gatewaycredentialssource:i:4
gatewayprofileusagemethod:i:0



There are a couple of changes you need to make to the above. On the sixth line, put in the name of your server. Further down make sure that the alternate shell and shell working directory are correct for your server. Now save this file as something meaningful such as hMailAdmin.rdp. Exactly what you name it or where you save it is not important except for the .rdp part.

Now all you need to do is create a shortcut on your desktop for this file. You can do this by right clicking the file and selecting Send to > Desktop (create shortcut).

Done

That's it! Now you can just click on the icon and voila, there is your hMailServer administrative application. If you want to get adventurous you can play around with some of the parameters such as window position or window size (fifth line) to adjust things for your particular client screen.
