Can not RDP to the workstation unless user logs on locally first.
I have a workstation with Win 7 pro x64 that I can not RDP to unless user logs on locally.
If I restart the PC(or log off the user) I will not be able to RDP to it - unless I have user to log on at the console.
Afterwards it allows me to connect, and it will work until I restart.
- RDP is enabled and the "domain users" are added as users that can connect remotely.
- I have checked Local Security Policy and the "Remote Desktop users" are allowed to logon remotely (and "domain users" are part of "Remote Desktop Users")
- I have disabled the Firewall for the purpose of troubleshooting.
Any ideas how to fix this without rebuilding the PC?

Is the RDP Service set to automatically start in your services MMC?
What is the status of windows firewall?
Is the system ping able prior to the user login? Do you have 802.1x configuration on the switch? I.e. no network access without authentication, nd computer authenticatin I not accepted?

Check your Advanced Settings under the Options area of the remote desktop setup. Make sure the server authentication is set to Warn instead of do not connect.
