Same Logon

Hello

I guess this is not a new one, but still I can't find any answer

I want my users to log on to my TS W2K server with exactly the same user name, password and domain name that those they used when they opened their W2K PC, without having to re-type this information
I know I can create a .rdp file, but the only option I see is to store the password in the file. Then, what happens when the user has to change his password when he opens his PC session ? I am afraid I have to re-create his .rdp file

Someone, please, help me !

Pass-through authentication is not a feature of Windows 2000 or 2003
TS.
As far as I know, only Citrix gives the option of pass-through
authentication.

When the users change their password in the domain, the rdp file will
still contain their old passowrd, and their login will not succeed.
They will then be shown the normal dialog box which you get when you
type in the wrong password. Then they have to type in the new
password and enable the setting to store the password locally,
thereby updating their rdp-file with the new password

User education is the solution here.
