| | Vista Remote Desktop credentials do not work I have a new Vista Business desktop that I set up last weekend. I can remote desktop from this system to any XP or Server box in my workgroup. I cannot remote into this desktop from any system. I get "your credentials did not work". I set up a new user account on this desktop and can remote into the system using that login, but I need to be able to login using my main profile. I've stumbled thru the previous newsgroups blogs etc, but haven't found anything to help me. Help! Tamara New Ideas Consulting Inc |

| | RE: Vista Remote Desktop credentials do not work What are your remote desktop settings under your system properties? (control panel, system, advanced system settings, remote tab) Check that you are allowing connections from computers running any version of remote desktop and also check that your main user account has been allowed access (by clicking 'select users'). Remember, if your main account is a domain account you will need to ensure the location is set to your domain name or your user name will not resolve and will not be added. Is your machine and user account a member of a windows domain? hope that helps -- They have the Internet on computers now?

| | RE: Vista Remote Desktop credentials do not work Hey Tom- Thanks for the post. I had looked at selecting user numerous times but didn't see that it had the account set as Owner. I had renamed this account to Tamara the first time I logged into the system. Wonder why it doesn't user the new account name? Anyway it is fixed! YEA! Thanks again. Tamara |
