Windows 2012 Displays List of User not Desktop

[dcipher]

Hi

How do I make Windows Server 2012 R2 accept the user supplied credentials? This is the first time I have had this issue normally I can login with MS Remote Desktop client and the server accepts the credentials and I get the server desktop. Now the remote desktop connects and displays a list of users then I pick my user and enter the password and then I get the desktop. However, I do not understand why I get a list of users when I first connect instead of going directly to the desktop. I have 3 Windows 2012 R2 servers and this is the only one that does this and I would like to change it so that I get the desktop right away. Does anyone know what setting controls this function?

Thanks,
Simon

Hello,

You may try the following to disable fast user switching :

1. Start > administrative tools > Group Policy Editor > Either edit an existing policy or create a new one (Remember its a computer policy you need to link it to something with computers in it, if you link it to a users OU nothing will happen).

2. Navigate to, Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > System > Logon.

3. In the right hand pane locate " Hide entry points for Fast User Switching" and enable.

4. Either reboot the computers or run "gpupdate/force" to apply the policy.

Your suggestion did not fix the problem but it did point me in the right direction. The solution was to enable

Local Computer Policy->Computer Configuration->Windows Settings->Security Settings->Local Policies->Security Options->Interactive Logon: Do not display last user name
