HI,
I have currently set up a single 2008 R2 TS and am storing some credetials via a custom app using cmdkey to authenticate to this server, however as part of the app it would be connecting to a farm as opposed to an individual server, so have set up a DNS alias in the interim.
So to explain clearly:
Server1 (2008 R2 Terminal Server)
FARM1 (DNS name pointing at Server1 and ultimately several servers in production)
The application stores credentials for both the FQDN of the FARM DNS name and the Server. If i connect to the FQDN of the server it logs me in seamlesly every time. however if i connect to the FARM FQDN i get prompted for the credentials. This works foine on Windows 7 if i enable and configure the GPO named "Allow Delegating saved credentials with NTLM-only server authentication" with TERMSRV/*, I understand there is no such GPO for XP but there are registry setting to which i think i have configured correctly.
This is an extract:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CredentialsDelegation]
"AllowDefaultCredentials"=dword:00000001
"ConcatenateDefaults_AllowDefault"=dword:00000001
"AllowDefCredentialsWhenNTLMOnly"=dword:00000001
"ConcatenateDefaults_AllowDefNTLMOnly"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CredentialsDelegation\AllowDefaultCredentials]
"1"="TERMSRV/*"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CredentialsDelegation\AllowDefCredentialsWhenNTLMOnly]
"1"="TERMSRV/*"
I have also updated the XP machine to RDC v 7.... Im fresh out of ideas.... Im sure its very simple. your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam
