Vista - rdp behavior

Hi all,
When trying to connect from Vista to windows server via rdp, In the 'Log on
to' the local computer instead of the domain name. (in XP it worked
perfectly). How can I set the default to be connected to the domain?
Thanks a lot,
Assaf

Enter the user name as domain\userid format.

....or in UPN format - username@domain.name - which looks nicer IMHO.

What if we have servers on multiple domains?

Are you saying we have to train all of our users on what server is in what
domain? What a great layout M$.

Uhm, do you have multiple accounts in different domains for users instead of
domain trusts? If not, you don't need to teach them different domain names
since user domain is what you enter during logon, not server's.

By the way, as unrelated tip, you can remove domain drop-down list in logon
window on previous versions of Windows too:

Actually what I would really like is for it to connect to the server and to
be able to put in the login cradentials in the classic style.

User Name
Password
Domain

And to not save anything like this Vista version does. it has the
administrator domain\loginname saved now.
