I'm working in a company network that under domain control (say mycompany.com\luke)
I need to remote to my remote PC at IP 1.2.3.4, using the builtpin Administrator account, After Win+R then mstsc /v 1.2.3.4, but
- when I type in
Administrator, it get tomycompany.com\Administrator - when I type in
.\Administrator, it get toCPP000393444BBZ\Administrator(CPP000393444BBZis my local computer name)
how to do RDP to remote PC using its local Administrator account?
My local PC is Windows 10 1809
My remote PC is Windows server 2016
Note:
I could send and email to IT Dept to ask my remote PC name (it may be something like SCP59863ACC7CFC but I need to fix this because my remote PC (actually VM) got generated automatically, so I can't email everytime I create a new VM

1Windows 10 disables the Built In Administrator account. Use a different Account with Admin Privileges. This is the best approach and keeps the machine secure – John – 2019-11-07T14:31:58.417
3"CPP000393444BBZ\Administrator" - You would need to use the computer name of the remote PC to access the built-in Administrator. However, you really should verify, if you actually should be using that. The built-in Administrator is by default disabled. Due to your configuration there isn't another way to access the built-in Administrator remotely without the specifying the machine of the username you want to use. – Ramhound – 2019-11-07T14:38:37.440
1Not sure if
mstsc /v 1.2.3.4 /adminuses local administrator or just tries to connect in a different way. Also nslookup 1.2.3.4 should get you the hostname/computer-name if on same network/DNS-server since you indicated that changes on new VM creation – gregg – 2019-11-07T16:40:32.187
