in the Remote desktop services default connect web browser i'm clicking on my rdp icon and am prompted for credentials of which (domain\username, password) are enterend but i'm continually prompted. why is this occurring?

I can think of a ton of situations where logon would straight out fail or fail after entering the username and password once, but not re-prompt for a username/password. Does it continually prompt for credentials or do you receive an error message? If you receive an error, what is the exact message? Are there any errors or warnings in the event logs of the client or the server? On the server, if you have auditing enabled, does it show successful authentication attempts for you in the Security event log? What are the OS/service pack level for the RDP client and server? -- Mike Burr

It continually prompts, with no errors. 2008 server r2 rdp 6.1

Hi, I noticed in your original post, "default connect web browser," are you using this procedure, http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Connect-to-another-computer-using-Remote-Desktop-Web-Connection -- Mike Burr

Hi, Please provide ipconfig /all output from the client where you are initiating the RDP and the destination ipaddress /all output for further diagnosis.

Sainath, when i get to RDweb i click on my remote desktop icon i then input my domain\username and password but doesn't log me in to my terminal server desktop. It will keep popping up with the same popup where i have input my domain\username and password but never logs me in. I've checked my terminal server event security logs and it shows me logging in then logs me off immediately. For testing purposes till i add my users i'm trying to log in as administrator. Why is this occurring?

event ID 4634 an account was logged off.

Heres another: Account Whose Credentials Were Used: Account Name: ct Account Domain: Abc company Logon GUID: {58f70c53-38f1-5d3a-29ec-5b09a7874242} Target Server: Target Server Name: localhost Additional Information: localhost Process Information: Process ID: 0x9b4 Process Name: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\w3wp.exe Network Information: Network Address: - Port: - This event is generated when a process attempts to log on an account by explicitly specifying that account’s credentials. This most commonly occurs in batch-type configurations such as scheduled tasks, or when using the RUNAS command.

Here is the answers from me: VIA IIS, click on default website and disable HTTP redirect. VIA IIS, click on rdweb\pages\appsettings = adjust the url for your "default ts gateway" by giving it a value. Enable HTTP redirect for RDweb. Restart IIS.
