• I like the option presented by MM.

    Just throwing out another option. At a previous employer, we used a posh script to authenticate and launch ssms. If the creds were wrong, you would be reprompted to enter the correct creds. If you successfully authenticated to the domain, then ssms would launch - but not if you failed authentication.

    If you are good with powershell, this would be a good option.
