Windows 10 – Login Window in a Remote Desktop Session
Why is this important to begin with?
But first, the Scenario:
- I need to do an evaluation/testing of Windows Information Protection which works only with Windows 10.
- The Windows 10 Desktop is in Azure
- I need to login to an Azure AD tenant using the AAD account user@tenant.com (wip@pulp.tech) to be precise.
- Once Azure AD joined I will test and Intune Desktop Management and Security Policies.
This post deals with enabling the Desktop Logon Windows in Windows 10.
A future post will deal with Intune configuration(s)
The problem
I created a Windows 10 VM in the Azure Tenant and joined it to the AAD I wanted to connect to. Easiest thing ever, just downloaded the .RDP file and connected to it using the couple username/password set at creation time. A local Window account to be precise, connecting was obviously possible
The How-To
And now I want to login into it using wip@pulp.tech. Result: NO. I was only able to login using the local administrator.
UNTIL, I reviewed the .RDP file, downloaded from Azure:
Changed that to
From 1 to 0 this meaning: Don’t ask for credentials
Success
Note this works on the desktop, I tried to connect from my Iphone using the Microsoft RDP client and it kept asking for credentials
