RDP is remembering the credentials OK, because you can connect to the box OK. It's the server itself that is then asking for the Administrator password again. It's Windows Server 2016. Maybe there was a Windows Server update rolled out. I checked the group policy on the server, and that has disabled the need to enter a password when you remote in.


But then again, when I log in with the other tool, it doesn't ask for an additional password, so maybe Win 10 updated the RDP client and broke it.

Nope. I'm still using 7.

Remote Desktop Connection Manager can't open .rdp files so I haven't used that yet.

I know where you are coming from Phil, I broke into a cold sweat just reading the response from Bird, let alone trying to implement it

If it's RDP then don't try to implement it.  It's only describing what to do with web (or rather apache) based access.

Rooshooter has donated the funds to keep the server running another 12 months,  thanks very much

Does anyone know/remember how I make a payment to continue the server for another 12 months,
is it under reserved instances - purchase more like these,  I just want to keep the server I have so I don't have to change anything,  just pay for it for another 12 months,  any advice is greatly appreciated,   

cheers

Reserved instances work very simply; you purchase them, and they apply to any running instance.  Just make sure details match; i.e. server type ( eg t2.small ) and region (asia-pacific/sydney) - and of course you'll want to buy either the 12 or 36 mo full upfront.    (best savings is the 36mo non-changeable)

If you guys are short on the 36mo full upfront, tell me how much is missing and where to put the money, I can front it, no probs.

Thanks Bird,  I don't expect you to pay, I would of paid any difference if I realised, it increases the price from 150 odd to 286, which is an awesome saving but I have already paid for the 12months 

[rooshooter]

Thanks for the very generous offer Bird.
