Can anyone offer some guidance for this please.
Having upgraded various computers, my old workstation is now going to be a render node. I've tested both VRay DR and a Backburner job and it works well. As this machine will not have a monitor connected to it (just power and ethernet) I need to be able to remote desktop into it. The OS is Windows 10. On all our older Windows 7 machines, remote desktop works as expected, however, with this machine I cannot log in regardless of the credentials I use. I really don't want to use a 3rd party app if I don't have to - just the inbuilt Windows Remote Desktop capability.
The machine I am logging in FROM is also a Windows 10 machine.
On the node machine, there is something called Microsoft Remote Desktop assistant. Launching this gives very simple instructions of the info you need: the PC name (which in this case is showing as the IP address of the machine) and the User name (which in this case is showing as DESKTOP-COMPUTERNAME/rich
I have tried entering these from the new workstation but it doesn't work.
There is an option to save the credentials to a file that should be run from the machine you want to log in from. I have tried this, but for some reason it still says the credentials do not work.
I have tried so many combinations of usernames and passwords. I've disabled the firewall. Rebooted. Pulled my hair out quite a bit.
Nothing seems to work.
Any pointers?
(sod it, I'll use TightVNC like I used 10 years ago - you'd think windows would have improved in that time)
