mstsc /v:$Server /admin /w:800 /h:600

It does not work on a domain joined computer. User and password are still asked.
Why you don't create an RDP shortcut and save the credentials for the connection?

Because it is a powershell script in which I don't want to mess with files.

This doesn't work: still prompted for password
$Server = 'myserver'
$User = "myuser"
$Password = "mypassword"
cmdkey /add:$Server /user:$User /pass:$Password
mstsc /v:$Server /w:1024 /h:768
$Server = 'myserver'
$User = "myuser"
$Password = "mypassword"
cmdkey /add:$Server /user:$User /pass:$Password
mstsc /v:$Server /w:1024 /h:768

Open Remote Desktop Connections -> type in the server name -> Connect -> type in the credentials -> tick "Remember my credentials" -> hit Enter.
Now your credentials are saved and every time you will need to RDP to the server, you won't be prompted for the username and password.
