This is by design. For security reasons, the password is encrypted
in such a way that only the same user, on the same machine, can
decrypt it.
Just teach the users that they type in their password on first
connection, and save it into the rdp file.

Alternatively, if all users are using the same account and
password, you can set the username and password in Terminal
Services Configuration admin tool.

Hello,
I need to deploy a remote desktop shortcut on approx. 100 computers ,
but even if i check the box "remember password", when i copy the
icon on another computer , the terminal server still prompt for
the password. It's working on my computer but not on the others
computers. But , if i enter manually the password on the others
computers , it save the password correctly. How can i avoid to
long on an manually type the password for each of the others
computers ? All computers use windows 2000/xp with remote
desktop connection installed. Also , the terminal server "Always
prompt for password" option is not checked.
excuse my poor english
Thanks
Francois
