How to force a login for an administrator when using Remote Desktop Connection?

Solution 1:

Turn off fast user switching, it causes the prompt box to appear for the other user regardless of their group memberships.

EDIT: I could not find anything in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client (or HKCU) that will disable this behavior.

Additional Info: Here's an article from MS on the how RDP acts with and without Fast User Switching enabled, for various user scenarios. It's for XP, but the rules still apply.

Solution 2:

Try the /admin switch:

Computer: brettbox /admin

(or, on Start - Run:

mstsc /v:brettbox /admin

)
