Windows 10: RDP Will no longer login to Windows 7 VM

I have a Windows 7 VM running an old application, because the application will not run on Windows 10. I have been RDP into it for months, and now it is giving me this error:


"Your password may have expired or the remote PC might not accept blank passwords"


Here's my environment:

Windows 2008r2 DC

Windows 7 & 10 Pro PC's

VM is on Win10 Pro PC, Workgroup


Like I said, worked a month ago.


I attempted to RDP from Win7 Pro PC and received the same message. But the old RDP gives you more information, and I saw that I was trying to login with a domain user, instead of a local user. Changed the login to login as a local user and it connected right away.


I then tried to change the login on the Win10 PC to a local login and it still gives me the same error. Is the format of local login (Machinename\Username) different on the new RDP?


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

WIndows 10 Pro will not accept RDP request

I recently installed Windows 10 Pro on one of my VM host. My plan was to use it as a management box to RDP into when I am traveling. I currently have a Windows 7 VM that I use for this purpose but wanted to decommission it for something newer. However
I have been having issues connecting to the Windows 10 Pro VM via RDP unless the VM is already logged in. Currently I have to connect via vSphere Client login to the Windows 10 Pro VM via the console view and then I can connect via RDP. If the machine logs
out at any point I have to connect again via vSphere Client and login again before RDP will respond to any request. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. I was hoping to have decommissioned the Windows & VM by now but I am going to have to wait until
I have been able to reliably connect to this new management console.

 

RDP connection ends rather abruptly

I have a vsphere 5.5 infrastructure with windows and linux servers running across 3 hosts. I use remote desktop connection to connect and manually install windows updates on all windows VMs but recently one of the VMs will drop the connection almost immediately
after i login to it via RDP. I tried to open console from the vsphere Web Client interface to access the particular VM but it only opens a blank black window. I am not sure if this is entirely windows or vmware problem or both. I know RDP is enabled and
the user name i use is allowed to remotely connect to this VM because its what has always worked for months until last week. How can i regain remote desktop or open console access to this VM or install updates remotely from another computer on the domain?
Please help.

 

RDP Connection to machine running Windows 7 Professional with NLA

I have upgraded to Windows 10 Home from Windows 7 Home. I need to connect via RDP through a VPN to a computer running Windows 7 Professional with NLA enabled. I was able to successfully do this running Windows 7 Home, I can no longer make this connection
under Windows 10. I am connecting to my work computer, I can successfully connect to the work computer that is running Windows 7 Professional if NLA is turned off on the Windows 7 Professional machine however IT security requires NLA to be enabled. Any
suggestions?
