Hi,
I've been struggling for a while with 2012 R2 RDS deployments to negate the need for users to enter their domain when signing in.
I've customised the RDWeb so that domain is not needed to sign in to Web Access, using this guide:
However, users still have to enter DOMAIN\username in RDC.
If I edit the .rdp file in notepad and add "username:s:DOMAIN\", it works - users are prompted for username and password, but the domain is pre-populated. (NB. I have also seen in http://www.donkz.nl/files/rdpsettings.html that"domain:s:" is an RDP property, but it has never worked in any way for me.)
I run:
Get-RDSessionCollection | Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CustomRdpProperty "use multimon:i:0`nusername:s:DOMAIN\"
Get-RDSessionCollection | Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration | fl
...shows that the property has been added correctly. I also see it in the registry at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\CentralPublishedResources\PublishedFarms. However, after an IISRESET, the property does not make it into the RDP file generated by RDWeb.
How can I add this seemingly simple property?
