Windows 7 Remote Desktop Connection Save Credentials not working [closed]

Trying to connect from Windows 7 to a Remote Windows 2008 Server via Remote Desktop Connection

I always used to be asked for credentials during logon – even though i saved my credentials

This error would creep up

Your system administrator does not allow the use of saved credentials to logon to the remote computer computername/ipadress because its identity is not fully verified. Please enter new credentials. The logon attempt failed

There is no-trust-relationship when connecting 2 computers from different domains. Windows uses NTLM in this case and the default domain machine policy does not allow use of saved credentials.

How do I get Remote Desktop to remember passwords?

By default, Windows allows users to save their passwords for RDP connections. To do it, a user must enter the name of the RDP computer, the username and check the box “Allow me to save credentials” in the RDP client window.

Where are Remote Desktop credentials stored?

These credentials are stored in an encrypted form in the Credential Manager of Windows by using the Data Protection API. The “pbData” field contains the information in an encrypted form. However the master key for decryption is stored in the lsass and can be retrieved by executing the following Mimikatz module.

How do I save credentials in Windows 7?

Also, passwords are stored in a different way in Windows 7, which is in a vault. To access these stored credentials, or to store a credential yourself, you can go to the User Accounts snap-in in Control Panel, then select the Manage your credentials option on the left panel, as shown in Figure 1.

Try these Below Steps:

  1. On your local machine Open Windows command prompt type: gpedit.msc -> Press Enter -> a new window will popout
  2. Go to Local Computer Policy –> Computer Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> System –> Credentials Delegation
  3. Double Click on “Allow Delegating Saved Credentials with NTLM-only Server Authentication”
  4. By default it will be “not configured”
  5. You will see radio buttons -> Enable the policy
  6. Click the “Show” button in the options window below and enter the value “TERMSRV/*” (without quotes) into the list.
  7. Click Apply button
  8. Do the same thing for the following policies:
    Allow Delegating Saved Credentials
    Allow Delegating Default Credentials with NTLM-only Server Authentication
    Allow Delegating Default Credentials

  9. Make sure that "Deny Delegating Saved Credentials" is not enabled or does not contain “TERMSRV/*” in the list

  10. Close all windows

  11. Open a command prompt and use “gpupdate /force” command to apply the policy directly.
