| | Remote access to Vista When I use an RDC client to access Vista Ultimate Build 6000, a screen comes up with an option to login as userid Remote and some password I don't know and haven't been able to figure out, or Other Users (where I can enter my own user name and password). A few questions: 1. Can I customize this screen to include my actual user names, instead of having them all lumped under Other Users to be manually typed in? 2. How do I edit the password for the Remote user so I can use it? 3. If I am able to login as the user Remote, will I be able to use Vista concurrently with someone logged in at the console? Thanks in advance for your help. |

Have you tried "other user?" and supplying a valid username? The first time prompted (hinted) RDC user name for earlier versions (do not have 6000) seemed strange to me., sometimes using the current client machines current username. After a successful logon, RDC will try and use a saved username associated with a previous connection. It did the prompt with a invalid username requested from the client. IMHO this is a security issue. Like any other WAN login, The remoter user should have been rejected AND the connection TERMINATED if the requested username was not authorized on that machine. If the USERNAME *is* valid, then the user is presented with the password question. IMHO The remote user should NEVER be presented with a "pick list" of usernames like is currently done at local logon. 3 remote "username" failures should institute a (timed?) lockout of RDC port to reduce a "dictionary list" username crack.
