Steps to reproduce:
- Login to a Windows 2008 R2 via RDP
- Open a "Command Prompt"
- Type: qwinsta
- Get:
SESSIONNAME USERNAME ID STATE TYPE DEVICE
services 0 Disc
console 1 Conn
>rdp-tcp#0 Administrator 2 Active rdpwd
rdp-tcp 65536 Listen
- Type: tscon 1 /v
- Get:
Connecting sessionID 1 to sessionname RDP-Tcp#0
Could not connect sessionID 1 to this session, Error code 5023
Error [5023]:The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the re
quested operation.
- Type: logoff
- Get disconnected from the Server
- Connect again to the Machine via RDP
- Open a "Command Prompt"
- Type: qwinsta
- Get:
SESSIONNAME USERNAME ID STATE TYPE DEVICE
services 0 Disc
>rdp-tcp#0 Administrator 1 Active rdpwd
console 3 Conn
rdp-tcp 65536 Listen
- Type: shutdown -r
- Get a Restart
- Wait and reconnect via RDP
- Open a "Command Prompt"
- Type: qwinsta
- Get:
SESSIONNAME USERNAME ID STATE TYPE DEVICE
services 0 Disc
console 1 Conn
>rdp-tcp#0 Administrator 2 Active rdpwd
rdp-tcp 65536 Listen
The first qwinsta give me the consoleat Session ID 1 and the Administrator (RDP) at Session ID 2. After I executed the tscon 1 /v Command and logged out an logged in again I got a Session ID 2for the console and a Session ID 1 for the Adminsitrator (RDP). If I then reboot all the Sessions are back to 1for the console and to 2for the RDP. The Question: How can I set console to Session ID 2 and Administrator (RDP) to Session ID 1 permanently ?
Unfortunately I can not automate that. I am using PSExec in a Jenkins Environment. For that I still need to configure WIndows 2008 in that way that it uses ID 1 for the Administrator and 2 for the Console.
Solution:
If you enable the Autologin for the Administrator it still works as expected.
- Activate "Auto Login" for the Administrator
- Regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- AutoAdminLogon=1
- Command Prompt: control userpasswords2
- Activate "User must enter a user name and password to use this computer."
- Deactivate "User must enter a user name and password to use this computer."
- Click OK
- Enter Password two times
- Click OK
- Restart Machine
