  1. Remote Desktop Connection for local account with no password


    I setup all the computers in my house to have the same username and no password - all of them boot up and go directly to the desktop without any need to login.

    Each one is a Local Account and is Administrator. When I setup remote desktop under User Accounts it specifically said that my username has access.

    I am trying to remote desktop from one machine to the others but it asks for a password.


    I tried disabling Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only

    Can you please tell me what additional steps I need to take to successfully remote in?

    Thank you,

    :)

  2. Remote Desktop

    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.

    Any suggestions are appreciated

    Remote Desktop Connection without password


    Remote Desktop Connection is not designed to work without passwords. Auto logon is another issue, a Windows PC with a single user account with no password logs the user automatically in. This creates issues with RDC.

    I recommend creating a password for the user account on remote host used for remote connections.
     
  4. Remote Desktop Connection for local account with no password

    Remote desktop to other user accounts OR remote desktop with a password without having to locally use the password

    I have a desktop at home, where I would like to install a virtualization system and use it remotely. The desktop is also for gaming and for home use, so it doesn't have a password on the main account (hence, it boots directly to the desktop). I would like to keep it that way, however, I would like to be able to Remote Desktop to this computer with a password, for obvious security reasons. Is this possible?

    I tried creating another account with a password, but the other account will make me access the new account's desktop only, not the original account's desktop.

    So, I would appreciate explaining whether one of these two options are possible:

    1. Remote desktop from the new account into the first account's desktop, OR
    2. Remote desktop to my original account with a password, without having to log in locally (when I'm physically in front of the computer).
