RDP over ZeroTier - Unable to connect
-
I have set up a ZeroTier network with three machines, intending to access a machine from two others. (Not at the same time).
Everything is installed, all machines are connected and authorized and given IP addresses from ZeroTier and it seems to work, however when entering the username and password at the prompt in Remote Desktop I get the error that the username or password are incorrect. Each machine seems to connect to the remote machine, it's just the username or password are not accepted in Remote Desktop.
I know these credentials are correct as I have logged in and out of the machine in question as well as rebooted and have had no issues logging in (via MeshCentral; I am not at the office with the remote machine.)
I have a similar ZeroTier network setup for my own machines and it all works well.
Any ideas on what I am missing?

@Scott Is there a domain involved? Could it be that you need the domain\username syntax for domain? or .\username for a local account?
-
No Domain; just local user.
-
@Scott add them to the remote desktop users group on each machine.

If this is Windows 10, is there a Microsoft Account associated with the user?

Check and make sure your clients support NLA.
Also check and make sure that the Windows Firewall Rule allows for connections over the ZT Network.

This is what I would suspect. By default, users can log in, but not access via RDP.

Thank you all.
Turns out for some reason in Remote Desktop I need to use "user" as username and not the account name.
This is not the case on my network, where the actual user name is used.
