  • This can be achieved with Teamviewer. But i'm not sure acout RDP. I believe you'll need to have the user account automatically login.

    @NiallJones: The odd thing about this problem is that RDP always performs the login on its own (unlike Teamviewer/VNC/etc, which have to use an existing login).

  • @grawity you're right. I didn't think of that.

  • The problem isn't with RDP. It is always available automatically... In fact, it's possible to connect via RDP to a machine before logon is possible. It's likely that logging in at the console is changing something with your network connectivity, ie connecting you to a user-based 802.1x authenticated network, or loading an internet filtering application etc. What do you have on the machine that's blocking inbound connections until you logon?

  • You should be able to login to the console rather than on user level, which is the failsafe way. Connect to your ip address and append /admin. For example: server address: 192.168.0.1 /admin
