Registry Settings to lockout too many Remote Desktop login attempts?

You cannot specify separate lockout settings for access via RDP vs. the physical console. Account lockout settings apply to the account, not the logon method.

Perhaps a way to achieve your goal would be to have a second admin user account configured on the machine that is denied access through Remote Desktop (thus mitigating the possibility of getting locked out) and use that account to unlock the first when required.

Alternate Solution

If you have the Pro or Enterprise version of Windows, you can configure the account lockout duration such that locked out accounts are automatically unlocked after a specified amount of time:

1. In Start search and run the Local Security Policy app.
   
2. Navigate to Account Policies/Account Lockout Policy.
   
   
   
   
   
3. Set the Account lockout threshold setting to a non-zero value (otherwise you cannot configure the other settings in this branch).
   
4. Configure the Account lockout duration setting as desired.
   

 

Remote Desktop access to Always On VPN client

I have a number of Always On VPN clients (using system tunnels) configured at our site...and it would be helpful to be able to connect via remote desktop to the Always On VPN clients.

Is there a way to get the RDP listener to listen for connections on the Always-On VPN interface? The RDP listener is aware of the wireless, wired and VPN link from a 3rd party VPN client installed on these remote devices, but the Always On VPN interface
is not listed as a valid interface to listen on. The Always On VPN interface does not show up in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\lanatable (adding the interface to this list would likely fix the issue).

 

Since Build 17763.475 some clients and 2008R2 server not visible

Since this build some of my Windows 10 clients will not see other Win 10 clients. I cannot even see my Server. It is variable as some machines do not have the problem. Machines are accessable by Remote Access and \\computer_name, but are not seen under network explorer.

Has anyone else seen this?
Any suggestions?
