RDP 6.0 - Changing Logon Domains

Hi,

We've installed the new Remote Desktop Client on all clients within a
secondary domain in our Active Directory Forest. We've now hit a problem
with users on this another domain trying to log onto a Terminal Server which
resides in a seperate domain.

Previously, when a user connected through RDP they could select the domain
to logon from, from the drop-down list at the logon screen.

Post-RDP 6.0 upgrade, they aren't given that option.

We've tried putting the domain name before the logon name, i.e.
domain\user.name - but this doesn't appear to work.

As a short-term workaround, we've re-created all the user accounts from
their domain in our domain - but I'd like to find a better solution.

Any suggestions on how to approach this?

Regards,

Richard Tubb.
 
There's a thread in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services that
describes how to make the authentication work like rdp 5. That might help
you. Subject is "RDP 6 does not work"
 
Thankyou Rich - that thread describes my problem, and the solution,
perfectly.

Much appreciated.

Regards,

Richard Tubb.
 
Richard,

Please see me other replys to the "RDP 6 Does not work"
thread over in microsoft.public.windows.terminal_services.

I describe in more detail why you are seeing this issue,
and another workaround.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Thanks.
