| | Logon to Windows disabled on Vista Remote Desktop I have 3 servers with Windows 2003 Small Business located in different locations. I used to use to connect to them via Remote Desktop from Windows XP. Now I've got a new PC with Vista Ultimate. With one of the servers I always get a message saying "The system couldn't logon on you. Make sure....". After I click OK it enables User Name and Password fields. User Name field contains 'mail.sersys.net\Administrator' and Password filled in. I remove 'mail.sersys.net\' and can login. On XP I never have anything, but Administrator. But 2 other servers display the same messages, and do not enable User Name and Password after I click OK. I repeat - no problem at all with connection from XP. What should be done on the servers or on my Vista PC to establish connection? Thank you vovan |

| | Re: Logon to Windows disabled on Vista Remote Desktop I found out that if I enter 'mail.secondserver.net\Administrator' then I get the same error message but after I click I get enabled boxes. So I moved a little bit forward, but I wouldn't want to retype 2 times the same User name. How to avoid that?
