    Hello,
    we connect to the company remotely with the server (Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition) through a remote desktop connection. Several users are created on the server. Each user has a .rdp file saved on their desktop to easily connect to the server. Each user also has to save the credential (their login and password) so that they do not have to enter data every time.

    The problem appears when we want to create several such files on one computer (a separate one for each user). Is it possible to configure the remote desktop so that many users can connect from one machine without entering their data (e.g. create several .rdp files, but each would "remember" the data of a particular user)?

    Hello,
    Type mstsc // windows + r and mstsc in the start
    A window will pop up and click show options.
    Note that there is an option to allow credentials being saved!
    Enter the server address, passes and everything you need there. Then save as and choose locations. repeat as many times as you need shortcuts. you can even email them to any user.
    If you check saving credentials, the user will activate the abbreviation and only once enter his login and password and click remember and the problem will go wrong because next time he will not ask for the password again.

    It's not like you write. Suppose I create a file for user A - login USER_A, password PASS_A and similarly to user B. I connect with user data A and then log out from the remote desktop, then I want to log in to user B so I click on user B file and my eyes appear remote desktop of user A (or more precisely the last saved).

    From the other side, it looks like this, I have two .rdp files USER A and USER B, I click on A, I enter and save data - I connect to desktop A. I log out and edit file B - I write and remember data, then connect to the desktop B. Then log out and click on the file A - the data that appears there are from user B.

    Maybe let's approach it differently. 2 users - 2 separate vbs scripts:
    Code: VBScript
    Log in, to see the code

    and you just change the data to user a and the other file to user b.
    This is not great, but it will do all the work for you again

    If you called me, I would explain it to you :P
    depends on what system you use, because windows 10 has a new wizard for connecting to rdp.
    this script is missing a login, because I thought you would guess and add sendkeys to suit your needs :)
    for me to change the login, I would have to enter sendkeys tab, then send keys space, then send keys username and then enter.

    open the notebook, paste this code, and save it under the .vbs extension
    and fire up so that it is not so fast, give sleep 5000
    :D
    I know it's complicated but as you understand it is very simple

    Thanks for advice. The problem was resolved by Remote Desktop Manager Free 2.7.1.0.

    I return to the topic because the problem occurred on computers with Win Xp.

    Admission word:
    Rdp files (pcs. 4) were created on a computer with Win10Pro (let's call it source). Each of them allows 4 different users to connect from this computer (file A had the credentials for Usera A, file B for Usera B, etc.). After copying to Kompa with Win Xp, each file is combined with the last saved data. I thought the problem was related to Win Xp restrictions. It was solved by the program given in the previous entry.

    (this is where the topic on the forum ends right now)

    Currently running .rdp files (in the meaning of "remembering" the data of specific users) after copying to another computer with Win10Pro do not work as described above, but what happens under Win Xp. An attempt to create rdp files from scratch on a new computer ends as I wrote the sentence earlier.

    So it seems that the credentials are not saved in .rdp files, but somewhere on the system. The question is how to force the new machine to remember the credentials for more than one user, as it does on the source computer.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around configuring Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connections on a Windows Server 2003 R2 environment, allowing multiple users to save their credentials in separate .rdp files on a single computer. Users encountered issues where saved credentials were not retained correctly when switching between different user files. Solutions proposed include using the built-in Remote Desktop Connection client (mstsc) to save credentials, creating separate VBScript files for automated logins, and utilizing Remote Desktop Manager Free 2.7.1.0 to manage connections effectively. The problem was further complicated when transferring .rdp files between different Windows operating systems, particularly from Windows 10 to Windows XP, where credential saving behavior differed.
