Sometimes added security can be pain, when you really need to get things done.

When trying to use saved credentials in Remote Desktop Connection you might receive this message:

Your credentials did not work. Your system administrator does not allow the use of saved credentials to log on to the remote computer [terminal.server.com] because its identity is not fully verified. Please enter new credentials.

To be able to use saved credentials in this situation you need to do the following:

  1. Open Group Policy Editor via cmdgpedit.msc
  2. Navigate to Local Computer PolicyComputer ConfigurationAdministrative TemplatesSystemCredentials Delegation
  3. Open Setting Allow Delegating Saved Credentials with NTLM-only Server Authentication, set it to Enabled**`
  4. Click on button Show... and in Show Contents window add Value TERMSRV/*
  5. Close all windows by pressing OK.
  6. Run cmd and enter gpupdate command to update your policy.

Note: Make sure to open Command Prompt (cmd) with administrator rights.

Now you should be able to use your saved credentials.
