Hello,
I have been using Remote Desktop on my local (client) WinXP computer to
connect to my remote (host) WinXP computer with no trouble. The remote host
has required the typical password-protected logon for each user and when I
start the Remote Desktop application on my local computer it asks for that
password so it can pass it on to the remote host. However, my host
requirement has changed and I need it to boot up and logon completely by
itself. As a result, I removed its requirement for a password. However, now
when I start the Remote Desktop application on my local computer and it asks
for a password, it will not connect no matter what I enter, including an
empty password. With a bogus password it tells me the password is incorrect
(duh!), whereas with an empty password I get the error message, "Unable to
log you on because of an account restriction.". So, what is the account
restriction and how do I change it, or does Remote Desktop simply not work
with a host computer that does not use a password?
Thanks,
Ray
