Allow RDP User To Reset Domain Password

Description:

Had an issue the other day where a user wasn’t able to remote into our servers because their AD password had expired. Instead of me resetting it on the domain controller, we did the following:

To Resolve:

1. Have the user create a .rdp configuration to the destination computer on the domain.

2. Include the following property (open using notepad => add to last line):

   enablecredsspsupport:i:0
   

3. When you use that configuration file to connect, you will be presented with the login GUI, and subsequently you will be presented with the change password dialog.

   • It should be noted that this only works if the server does not require NLA:
