First time login to Window Server with RDP
If you get the error message the first time you access Windows after installation, your client has been negotiating with the server for network-level authentication. However, network-level authentication is executed before a remote desktop session has even been created.
You cannot perform the forced password change during the first login.
Follow these steps:
- First, create an RDP file
- Rightclick the .rdp file and edit in notepad or your favorite code editor
- Add the following code at the end of the file
username:s:Administrator
authentication level:i:2
nablecredsspsupport:i:0
You can now double-click the .rdp file to launch a connection.
