    Only have remote desktop sessions password protected

    Thank you all for your suggestions.

    Turns out there is a solution that does not require to enable the built in vpn-server.

    • run "netplwiz"
    • uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer."

    You now don't need to enter the password and the login screen is bypassed on boot up. If you connect via remote-desktop you'll have to provide the credentials as usual. Just keep in mind that you'll have to reboot the computer after a remote desktop session as otherwise the computer asks the person infront of it for credentials.
