Remote Desktop Double Login
In our network all clients run Win 7 x64 Enterprise, the servers run Win 2008R2 x64 Enterprise. Until a while ago connection via RDP to any of the machines for maintainance required only one login at the RDP client. Now on the Win 7 machines the normal login screen shows up after credentials have already been provided to the RDP client, requiring to login twice effectively. The Win 2008R2 machines behave a usual. I can't put my finger to it but it seems this behavior on the clients turned up after the April 2012 windows update cycle. No GPO has been modified. The registry entries refering to CredSSP etc. show up normal. The logs are clean. RDP info say NLA is supported. Any thoughts ? Aquila

Hi Mohammed, Thank you for your input. However, the single signon is not exactly what I meant. We use RDP for maintainance as follows: For day-to-day work I'm logged in with a normal unprivileged user account on my machine running Win 7 x64 Enterprise. When I need to login to a remote machine I use RDP, providing admin credentials to the RDP client (Windows Security / Enter your credentials). That used to be enough, the RDP client showed my admin desktop through RDP. For the Win 2008R2 machines this still works. For the Win 7 machines, now the login screen appears (as if I would logon locally) within the RDP window with the last logged in user showing and I have to provide the admin credentials again. This is quite a pain and something that changed only recently without any apparent reason. Before that the Win 7 machines 'behaved' like the Win 2008R2s. Kind regards Aquila

I'm having the same issue...these suggestions did not fix it unfortunately. I know this..it started happening after a round of office updates for Office 2010 (x86) on 7 Enterprise x64. 7 Professional does not have this problem. Very strange. Thanks, Kit
