Remote Desktop & Credentials

[Cindy Mikeworth]

With XP, I could save login info as part of the RDP settings. This was
helpful as I login to our Terminal Server as multiple people.

With Vista, it appears as if only the last set of credentials used are
maintained. So even if I have two different icons, if I change the
credentials on one, the other gets changed as well.

Does anyone know if there is a way around this?

Solution ..Thanks to abckid

Go to Start - Run and type "control keymgr.dll". This will give you options
to
Store your credentials for servers. Just Add the IP address of the sever or
name (Ex:asap.alliedinfo.net) you need to Log on to and Username and Password.
(Ex: allied/username allied-2150/pwd) Select "A Web site or program
Credential" as credential type and OK. (Save and exit)

Then Start - Run - "mstsc" and click on Options -
Advanced Tab: Select
Authentication options: Always connect, even if authentication fails.
Settings: Use these TS Gateway Server Settings is chosen
SERVER is ASAP (Name of TS SERVER)
Logon Method= Smart Card
Check bypass Ts Gateway server for local addresses

Experience Tab: Checked are: Themes & bitmap caching and reconnect if
connection is dropped

Programs Tab: Nothing is checked

Local Resources Tab: Remote computer sound: Bring to this computer
Keyboard: In full screen mode only
Local devices and resources: checked is printers and clipboard
Click on the more button and have smart card checked

Display Tab: Remote desktop size=Full Screen
Colors=256 colors
Check display the connection bar when in full screen mode

General Tab:
Computer . is (Ex: asap.alliediinfo.net or Ip address)
You should see your saved user name (Ex: allied)(create one for each user that
Terminal server has setup to accept)
SAVE AS and give this a name

Now when connecting no screen should come up after saying connect other than
your Terminal Server screen just like the old RDP connections.
