Group policy to change RDP-TCP settings on Windows 2000 Terminal Servers
I see that the WinXP and later system.adm file contains settings that will configure "Always Prompt Client for password upon connection" but these aren't compatible backwards. Anyone know of a way to make a GPO do this, since the latest update of the RDP client (6.0) is forcing users to give credentials that are then refused by the server... ?

Huh. I hadn't considered that as an approach - no idea that it did it. I ended up creating a custom .adm file:
----------------
CLASS MACHINE
CATEGORY !!RDP-TCP
POLICY !!PASS
EXPLAIN !!PASS_Explain
VALUENAME "fPromptForPassword"
VALUEON NUMERIC 1
VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0
KEYNAME "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Control\Te rminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp "
END POLICY
END CATEGORY
[strings]
RDP-TCP="RDP-TCP Settings"
PASS="Set Password required ON"
PASS_Explain="Set Password required ON. Created 11/29/06 to work around inability of Win2K TS to accept GPO for this setting"

That looks good!
