RDP settings don't allow direct RDP login.
In the global options screen, under terminal Services (RDP), I have my domain account specified under the "Login Settings" area. However, when I log onto any 2003 server machines, I am still presented with the log on dialog box on the remote server. Is this setting supposed to allow me to log directly into the RDP session, or just allow me to connect to the computer? If the former, this doesn't seem to work correctly. Please clarify. Thanks.
I tried searching for an answer, but this new format has me a little confused on how to search as well.

Inappropriate?It sounds like you haven't enabled the automatic login feature on the terminal server, yet. You can do this in the Terminal Services Configuration on the server.
It's in the RDP-Tcp connection settings.
By default, the terminal server always forces all clients to enter a password.
Is this the case? If not, we'll move on to some other things that it might be. -
Inappropriate?Unless I missed the setting you're refering to, this "Automatic Login" feature you mentioned provides for only one user. I'm not the only user connecting to this server. I was under the impression that VENM console will log me in with the credentials specified in the global settings. Is this not the case? I know there are other programs that do this (RoyalTS) without this "Automatic Login" feature you mentioned. Am I missing something?

Inappropriate?I may have been reading the question wrong. When you put auto-login credentials in the preferences, group properties, or computer properties, it passes those credentials to the terminal server when attempting to connect.
There may be a scope issue causing this. For example, if you set RDP credentials in the main preferences but there's conflicting settings in the computer properties.
Could this be the case?
The only time that this fails is when the remote terminal server is configured to always ask for a password even if the client supplies it one upon connection. -
Inappropriate?None of the Global RDP settings are overridden at a lower level (I already checked that just in case). However, the problem may lie in the "Always prompt for password setting" This is checked and greyed out. So this may be the problem. It has probably been set through group poilicy. Bummer. But that doesn't explain how this works when we use RoyalTS. Hmmm...
On a second point, is it possible to force the /console (/admin) switch when connecting via RDP through VENM? Thanks.
