MSTSC / RDP on Windows 7 RC x64 started asking for credentials
I'm evaluating Windows 7 RC x64. I'm using Remote Desktop connections (MSTSC.EXE v6.1.7100) toaccessthe Windows Server 2003 SP2 with a shortcut having thiscommand:C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe C:\...\myserver.rdp /adminThe remote server is not a member of my domain (it's in a workgroup). The user login credentials (a local admin user on the remote server) are saved in the mentioned .rdp file.In the past, whenI used this shortcut in Windows Vista Business x64, it accepted my saved login credentials and showed me the remote server console instantly. Nowthe remoteserver gives me a blank login prompt, so I have to type my credentials every time. The credentials did not change; nothing seemingly changed except for myOS.Itried updating the .rdp file and saving it with the credentials from the new MSTSC.EXE, but it still gives me a credentials prompt. How do I stop this prompting once again?Please help!

One other method that I find useful (and eliminates the requirement to pass along parameters like /admin) is after creating an RDP Connection File (and saving it), open the RDP Connection File with Notepad and insert a line after the 1st line that reads "connect to console:i:1" (without the quotes). The first 2 lines of my RDP files look like: screen mode id:i:2 connect to console:i:1 --Mike E.
