In previous versions of the remote desktop client there were methods of passing in the password through various methods. Has anybody found a good method using the latest remote desktop client? I'm aware of LaunchRDP but that doesn't meet our needs.

Perhaps somebody knows the algorithm so I can dynamically assemble RDP connection files?
