Re: FQDN inserted when connecting to Terminal Services

That method doesn't work for me.
RDP 6 on XP worked fine. I didn't encounter it there and was also able to save the details including the password.
On Vista I can't seem to save the connection details.

I've run into the same issue...but haven't spent enough time with it yet.
You just let it fail and then overwrite the credentials.

This appears to be due to RDP 6 - same thing happens on XP if RDP has been
upgraded.

The first time I connect to a specific server, I change:

FQDN\Username

to:

<NETBios Domain name>\Username

and RDP "remembers" this from that point forward.

For example, if the prompt is:

sbs.mycompany.local\Owen

I change it to:

mycompany\Owen

and I only need to do that once.
