Re: Two different RDP sessions with different Usenames to same TS Server

Feedback #6: The pre-populated user name in the credentials dialog
does not match the user name that is in the RDP file.
Most users make a TS connection in one of two ways:
Style #1 by double-clicking a custom RDP icon published by your
admin or a custom RDP file authored by you.
Style #2 by launching the "Remote Desktop Connection" icon in the
Accessories folder on the Windows Start menu and typing in the
remote computer name and user name and then clicking the "Connect"
button, or by typing mstsc.exe from a command prompt. Whenever you
use this style, TS client uses the default.RDP file.
With the RDP 5.0 client, when you use a custom RDP file, it always
reads the user name from the file. It is optimized for users
following connection style #1. The downside with the RDP 5.0 client
is that if your connection style is #2, and you connect to five
different TS servers in a day, you will be required to enter the
user name again and again because it shows only the most recently
used computer name and user name.
In RDP 6.0 client, we have optimized it for connection style #2
users but we understand that this approach breaks the "TS Remote
Admin" scenario with connection style #1 where two different RDP
files with two different user names are used for the same TS
server, or where you want to use a custom RDP file with the user
name pre-filled for you by your administrator.
Here is a proposed new solution to address both these cases.
Whenever the TS client uses the default RDP file (this is the case
for connection style #2), it will always use the user name hint
from the registry. Whenever you use a custom RDP file (this is the
case for connection style #1), it will read from the RDP file if it
is available, or else it will read the user name hint from the
registry. With this proposed solution, we think we'll be able to
address both connection styles that customers use and all possible
edge scenarios supported by RDP 5.0 clients. Please let us know
your feedback.
