embedded RDP to Server 2008
I've got a bunch of RDP sessions to 2003 servers with saved credentials and it works great in both external and embedded mode. When connecting to a Server 2008 however, in external mode it logs me in using the saved credentials but in embedded mode it takes me to the screen with the icons for the users and I have to click on the user I want and enter the password. I am using Standard Edition 5.5.0.4 and connecting to the admin (console) session. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
I'm not aware of this problem, I will verify if there is something special missing in the embedded mode. I just received my new test server. I will also try to setup a Windows 2008 in the next few week and let you know if I can reproduce it.
Oone thing you can try is to specify the full username with the domain or the machine name before. You can try without the full user name if you already tried.
If you find any other clue, let me know.

I'm assuming you're using a domain, the workaround that I found was to include the domain in the username box:
Example:
Username: mydomain\username
I am in a domain environment but I already had the domain included in the username. I did figure out a workaround however. It may be related to DNS. When I enter the servername like I do for all the 2003 servers it does not log me all the way in. If I put the FQDN in there it does work. For example:
Server 2003 - works
Computer: myserver
Username: mydomain\username
Server 2008 - does not work
Computer: myserver
Username: mydomain\username
Server 2008 - works
Computer: myserver.mydomain.com
Username: mydomain\username
