Specialist software which doesn’t run over a VPN or is not cloud based is ideally suited to RDS deployments. We’re seeing less and less RDS deployments but some situations still require some lite RDS access.

Welcome to my guide on how to configure a single server Remote Desktop Services (RDS) deployment using server 2016. Posted By in Windows Server | 29 comments

PathToWorkingDirectory – the working directory used by that initial program.

PathToStartupProgram – the path of the initial program that runs immediately after the user is signed in.

Password – the password of the credentials you are caching for auto-login.

Username – the username portion of the credentials you are caching for auto-login.

DomainName – the domain portion of the credentials you are caching for auto-login.

RDSHostName – the name of the terminal server to make these changes on.

Once you run the batch file above on a target session host, you then run the following Powershell script to set (cache) specific auto-login credentials, as well as set the initial program (and its working directory) which starts immediately after connecting to the terminal server.

REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp" /v SecurityLayer /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp" /v UserAuthentication /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f Here are those three changes, which I placed into a batch file I called “disablenla.bat.” DisableNLA.bat REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp" /v fInheritAutoLogon /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f The first step involved is to change a few registry settings to disable NLA, downgrade the SecurityLayer to RDP authentication, and also to permit the Powershell script to place the server into auto-login mode. For Internet connected Remote Desktop Servers, use RemoteApp with individual user authentication and NLA enabled to serve up apps to users. This severely weakens the security of the terminal server. As part of this process, you disable NLA (Network Level Authentication) and you cache login credentials on the server.

Here are the steps I took, and I’ve bundled both the batch file and the PowerShell script in a downloadable zip file below.įirst, a big disclaimer: You should only use these techniques on internal, non-Internet connected terminal servers to run a Kiosk-style system. It used to be a lot easier to create an automatic, cached Kiosk-style RDP login in Server 2008 The Solution: Registry Tweaks and Powershell WMI CallsĪfter doing some research, I determined that it was possible to replicate this behavior on Windows Server 2012 and later, but that it required both some registry tweaks and some specific WMI calls via Powershell in a specific order.
