Guest Rogene Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 System Information: XP Pro, SP2 using RDP 6.0 connecting to Windows 2003 Standard edition server. I'm trying to save multiple RDP files using a different local logon to the same Windows 2003 server. I'm utilizing the below procedure to save the connection settings: Open Remote Desktop Connection by clicking Start, clicking Programs or All Programs, clicking Accessories, and then clicking Remote Desktop Connection. In the Remote Desktop Connection window, click Options. Specify the connection settings that you want for this connection, (such as screen size, automatic logon information, and performance options). On the General tab, click Save As. Enter a file name for the saved connection file, and then click Save. ISSUE: When I change the user and password on one rdp file it changes on all the RDP files that have been saved for the same server. Example user1server1.rdp User Name: user1 Password: password1 Server: server1 As soon as I change the user information on the below RDP it changes the user1server1.rdp file to match the user2server1.rdp. user2server1.rdp User Name: user2 Password: password1 Server: server1
Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Re: One Server w/Multiple Users -- Unable to create unique RDP config This is by design. There have been a number of changes in the rdp client from version 5.2 to 6.0 (as is to be expected with a major upgrade). One of the changes is that rdp 6.0 doesn't use .rdp files in the same way, and the other is that it assumes a single username/password combination per server.
