I have 2 computers and both need to use RDC to talk to remote server. My
workstation is a member of my home domain and my notebook which I just did a
clean install of xp pro is not a member of a domain.
1) If I edit the connection from the workstation I get a window with 6 tabs
and a field to enter the target computer (IP address). It also has a
checkbox saying "Always ask for credentials" which is unchecked. above that
is a link to edit or delete the credential. I click the link to edit and I
can enter the user name and password and save it. now every time I click on
this connection.rdp file I connect to the server with out having to enter
any credentials.
2) On the notebook at the same window, I don't have this checkbox saying
"Always ask for credentials" or link to edit or delete the credentials. and
always when I click on it's rdp file I'm prompted to enter the password.
the first time I did this on the notebook I got another window which among
other things had a checkbox saying "Don't prompt me again for connections to
this computer". which I checked, but it had no effect. I still have to
provide a password every time. I'll attach screenshots of these 3 windows
for your reference.
Can anyone tell my why the notebook can not save the credential?
I thought it might be because the notebook is not part of a domain, but I
talked to tech support at the datacenter and that technician who is also
part of their domain didn't have this checkbox either. so it seems that
being part of a domain is the key.
Thanks.
