I have a couple Windows 2012 R2 servers in my environment (I inherited) that do not prompt for credentials until after making an RDP connection to the server (i.e. like I'm logging into the console).
Whereas, I'm familiar with opening my RDP client, put in an address, and get prompted for credentials right there (on the client side).
Client is Windows 10.
I dug through these servers and cannot determine why these are behaving this way while others act like "normal" servers. Both types of servers are getting the same group policies. And I don't see anything pertinent in the local policies.
Both types of servers that do and do not exhibit this, all have the following installed:
Remote Desktop Connection Broker
Remote Desktop Session Host
Remote Desktop Web Access
Any insight into why one type of login is different than the other is greatly appreciated.
