Never mind!! the local user that you RDP's into also needed to be an administrator ( I was just authenticating UAC with a domain admin account when it prompted) so the actuall user itself that you are on needs to be an admin also. For the reasons im doing this the account didnt need to be an admin so yea.

cheers works great!

Ok i think i must be doing something wrong, this didnt work for me. i have RDP'd into the machine and placed this into a short cut and ran it as an admin. A CMD window flashes open and then closed and nothing happens

thank you VERY much for this! I too, have a not-so-handy keyboard for my HTPC in my living room. Having to punch the apssword after every Remote Session was a pain.

After reading this in Februrary, I finally got the time to implement it. It works great and helps me tremendously. Not only for the obvious reason, but the fact is that I “sling” my Media Center Interface around the house to various TVs w/o PCs connected. Without this tip, after RDP I had to run downstairs, unlock the Media Center PC and then go to the TV that I actually wanted to watch at the time.

I copyed the 2 tscon files from an ultimate pc to a rdp hacked home premium pc and the tscon command now works!

usa… the main difference as far as i can tell is bitlocker. rdc is rather trivial. anyways, did anyone get the big that after you disconnect your mouse pointer does not disappear once you are in media center.

I also have very strong ethical/moral reasons against that hack. When a company does price differentiation of products with specific features, hacking in those features in a cheaper product to be equivalent to the more expensive one's is wrong. Since the only real differentiator between home premium and professional/ultimate is the remote desktop, I just don't feel at all right about using features that you very intentionally didn't pay for.

That's just me though. My wife say's I'm a legalistic prude.
