Oh dear.
So I'm trying to establish a RDP session to a remote Windows XP workstation and want to pass authentication details so the session automatically logs in without prompting for the password credential on the remote sstem once the sessions connects.
I'm being wonderfully dense but I'm pretty certain I need to set something on the remote system to allow for credentials to be passed like this? I'm just struggling to even string the word criteria to even web search for an answer today
Any help, much appreciated, Please be gentle.
Cheers, Paul.
EDIT- for clarity. Almost like enabling single-sign on so when when you enter the authentication credentials via the RDP(mstsc) thin client or via a command-line tool it then passes that directly and logs into the remote system. Currently all I can manage is that all fields are populated once you establish a connection to the remote system with the exception of the PASSWORD field.
Bear in mind, in this case I'm using a windows 2008 server as the connecting client and the remote system is Windows XP SP3.
