What's happening here is a little complex, but if you read up on NLA and CredSSP you'll get a better picture.

I don't know OS you are using and accessing, but does this help? Disable System Beep in Windows Vista
Looks like there is a system device that controls that particular beep.

This is the list of shortcuts in the Win7RC MSTSC help (these work whatever the setting of "apply windows key combinations)":
Alt+Page Up: Move between programs from left to right.
Alt+Page Down: Move between programs from right to left.
Alt+Insert: Cycle through programs in the order that they were started in.
Alt+Home: Display the Start ...

If you're using the MSTSC (microsoft terminal services client) to remote into a remote machine, it should attempt to share the printer through the RDP protocol, and automatically create it on the other side.
This process can fail when the printer's driver isn't installed, and the "Terminal Services Easy Print" driver is not installed. The easiest way is ...

There is no way to do what you want using RDP. Clipboard support is handled through a side channel in the RDP stream and requires support from the remote end. In Microsoft's RDP implementation, that support is provided by the usermode rdpclip.exe process, which is started by winlogon.exe - obviously only once you're already logged in. splattne's answer is ...

I still have connection files with saved passwords that were saved and they still work.
The .rdp format is actually fairly decently documented, see these:

Some documentation about the password hashses is at:

Don't forget that an intruder that compromises that server could also use it as a springboard to attack other customers' facilities behind the firewall. Thus, security risk is not solely confined to the first customer's assets.
Get some justification from the vendor as to why they can't use the VPN. If there is genuinely no alternative to RDP connection ...

Most people that have a problem with allowing RDP directly from the internet have a specific set of concerns around the idea that intruders are directly querying your directory / SAM for authentication. Without proper auditing this often goes un-noticed. Once they've successfully obtained a single logon pair they have uninhibited access to your environment. ...

Are these computers in a domain where you can apply a group policy to them?
To enable remote connections with a group policy you'll need to enable this policy.

Is there any way to query a user on a domain and list all the machines that user is logged into?
No. That's not how it works; there's nothing like an ~IsLoggedOnTo attribute that attaches to the user object in AD. The list of users logged is a property/attribute of each computer individually, so you'd have to query each computer individually.
I'd ...

Using XRDP to access a Linux server:
I accomplished this successfully about 2 years ago using Nomad on OpenSUSE. If you must use XRDP, this is likely to be one of the easiest ways to get it up and running, but be warned that it is less straightforward than a traditional Windows terminal server. For example, the client must be set to use a color depth of at ...

I found a way to make this work. I frequently work with nested RDP sessions that go in several levels deep. That's just how I prefer to work, especially with lots of VMs.
Keep in mind that my environment is primarily W7 and 2008 R2.
Here's the scenario: I RDP from Computer A to Computer B, and from Computer B to Computer C.

Double check the updates as suggest by Robin, also ensure you are running Remote Desktop Connection 7.0 on the XP machines (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=20609). There are some major improvements, you can see this KB for details.

Windows client OS's only allows one interactive user at a time. When you connect remotely, it locks the console session - hence you finding the console session at the login screen.
If you're not picking up session 0 when logged in remotely then there must be something going on in the background that transfers the console session to your remote desktop when ...

There seems to be no way to do that. A workaround is to let Remote Desktop Connection save your password. Flag that checkbox in "Options."
As alternative you could use Royal TS. It's free until version 1.5.1.

If you go into the recovery options of that service have you set to auto restart if it fails?
If the service is still causing you issues you could use something like FireDaemon Pro with Fusion - http://www.firedaemon.com/
That way you can restart services over a web interface rather than having to go to the box and reboot.

I've seen this problem before, for me it was caused by a failing HDD. The virtual memory was set to a fixed size and part of the file was on some bad blocks. I temporarily corrected this by setting the virtual memory to system managed, running a scandisk, then a defrag, and then setting it back to a fixed size. After I got the system stable I imaged and ...

How do I know which disk is the cluster disk?
If you have a 2 node SQL cluster, then you already have a few clustered disk resources. Start cluadmin, if you look inside your resource groups you'll see some physical disks in there under the cluster and SQL group(s). I dont recommend using same disk resources that ...

Not that I've ever seen, it seems to be a hardcoded limit in the client. The MRU list is stored in HKCU\Software\microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default and adding multiple values to that key does not increase the size of the list in the client UI.
There are other packages out there that let you manage connections, though. Maybe have a go at one of them. ...

I found another answer to this! If you are trying to connect to any computer using Windows XP Remote Desktop and keep getting a crash error after clicking 'connect' this is the solution.
Run CCleaner! Or run Disk Cleanup...
I spent about 2 hours on this issue, and after running CCleaner and disk cleanup I had NO ISSUES!! sorry to bring this thread back to ...

Geoffc. Sign into your server. Bring up Terminal Services Configuration. Edit the RDP settings on it, you can stop it from sending sound, clipboard, etc.
Disable sound.
if you still get it, disable sound in the bios! See link below.
