Desktop Shortcut Configuration for Project-Specific Access

Overview

Administrators and users with access to multiple projects in ManagementStudio may find it helpful to create desktop shortcuts that launch ManagementStudio directly into specific projects. This guide outlines the process for configuring shortcuts to access distinct projects, such as "MigrationStudio" and "Project Massive Migration".

Identify Project IDs and URL

• Log in to ManagementStudio.
• Click the Switch Project icon (1) and select the required project (2).

• Navigate to Administration → Project Settings (1).
• In the Project Settings tab:
  • Note the Project Id (2).
  • Note the ManagementStudio URL.
• Repeat these steps for each project you wish to create a shortcut for.

Configure Desktop Shortcut

• Locate the existing ManagementStudio shortcut on your desktop.

• Right-click the shortcut and select Properties.

• In the Target field, append the following parameters:

  -ServerUrl http://YourServer.com:5000 -ProjectId <ProjectId>
  

  Replace http://YourServer.com:5000 with your actual ManagementStudio server URL and <ProjectId> with the noted Project Id.

  Example entries:

  %LocalAppData%\ManagementStudio\ManagementStudio.exe -ServerUrl http://MyServer.com:5000 -ProjectId 3
  %LocalAppData%\ManagementStudio\ManagementStudio.exe -ServerUrl http://MyServer.com:5000 -ProjectId 2

• Click OK to save the shortcut properties.

• Double-clicking the shortcut will now launch ManagementStudio and log you directly into the specified project.
