  1. Does Remote Desktop Work on a Hidden Log In Account?


    I have a hidden user account (administrator) on one PC and I am curious if I can be able to access that computer remotely via Remote Desktop?

    Meaning to say, when the Remote Desktop asks for log in and password and I input the hidden account details, would it work?

    Not a programmer and I am just curious to learning how this work. Any insight would help. Thanks!

  2. remote desktop woe`s

    Since when is that? My local account does not exist on my server, I can log in fine. I could always log in at home from work, again different accounts and even different domains. It matters not, you can enter any credentials. It would be rather useless if it works like you suggested. I fact, no Windows authentication works that way, you can always enter other credentials.

    Okay guys need some help here before going crazy...
    I am trying to setup a remote desktop connection and see exactly what the logged on user is looking at with out going through Windows Remote Desktop.

    Since its local network I don't have any password or want to setup a password.

  4. Does Remote Desktop Work on a Hidden Log In Account?

    Remote Desktop not working for my Windows/10 machine

    I restored a computer to original Windows/10, set it to allow remote access, and still can't access it using Remote Desktop from another machine.

    They are both network connected to the same wireless router.

    I'm logged into the same Microsoft account on both.

    I'm trying to access it using either computername or IP address - neither works.

    I CAN successfully run TRACERT using either computername or IP address and both work.

    Windows Firewall does not list an application named "Remote Desktop" (still doesn't connect even if I turn the firewall off).

    Thoughts? Suggestions?
