  2. Microsoft Account and Authentication during RDP

    Hello, trying to RDP to my windows 10 (fall creators update) via RDP but the RDP client always fails with invalid credential.

    I have tried the combinations:

    • Microsoft account primary alias and Microsoft account password
    • Local username associated with my Microsoft account and Microsoft account password
    Neither is accepted for sign in. I have Mobile sign in enabled on my account so I technically never entered my password here.

  3. RDP connection fails from Microsoft account to Local Admin account

    Issue:

    • Windows 10 Pro desktop cannot connect to another Windows 10 Pro desktop on the same wired network.
    Details:

    • When connection is attempted, an error states the credentials are invalid.
    • The credentials entered are the local admin account on the target computer.
      • Computer attempting the connection is logged into the Microsoft account.
    • When both computers were running Windows 7 Pro - there were no RDP issues.
    Troubleshooting:

    • Confirmed credentials are correct and CAPS is turned off.
    • Firewall rule for Remote Desktop is enabled and option is enabled in the System Properties.
      • Connection to target computer is successful using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S that is connected to the WLAN.
    • Downloaded Remote Desktop app from the Windows Store.
      • Encounter the same "Invalid Credentials" error as the Remote Desktop Connection software.
    • Updated firmware for router (Netgear R6300).
    • Power cycled both desktops.
    Resolution:

    • Logging into the Microsoft account on the remote computer resolved the issue.
    Conclusion:

    • When you're trying to establish a Remote Desktop Connection from a computer that is logged into your Microsoft account to a computer that is logged in to the Local Admin account, the connection will fail stating the credentials are invalid.

    RDP to Desktop using Microsoft Account

    Unable to login OR RDP using Microsoft Account

    Hi Everyone,

    I have three computers that were set up using my Microsoft Account. Recently I tried to RDP into one of them and I can't. I tried both the local PIN and my Microsoft Account password. Both resulted in "The logon attempt failed". I experienced this in the past and after switching from a Microsoft Account to a local account and back again, it resolved itself but that isn't helping here.

    Important Details:

    • All three computers are on Windows 10 Pro 21H2
    • All three computers have Remote Desktop enabled
    • My Microsoft Account is allowed to RDP into all three
    • My Microsoft Account uses a custom email instead of an Outlook email
    • My Microsoft Account has MFA turned on
    • When my Microsoft Account is added, I cannot log in to the machine using its password. I always have to use the PIN I set up.
    I attempted to find a resolution but have been unsuccessful. I tried deleting the RegEdit profile and re-adding my account. I changed a few Group Policies that were mentioned online, nothing changed.

    Any help would be appreciated. I may just switch back to local accounts but I don't like the idea of something not working as designed haha.
