• I want to use NoMachine as Windows Remote Desktop replacement.

  Well, all is better, but the basic feature is missing.

  When I start a remote connection, NoMachine ask me the Windows username and password (and save it on my computer) in order to connect server.

  This means that NoMachine (on remote server) verify that the user is validated on that machine, then it shown me the Windows login screen.

  Why? If NoMachine knows Windows password and it’s right why it don’t connect to an existing session of that user (if present) or don’t creates a new one if not exist?

  I’m forced to digit manually a password, but this force me to use simple password, not long randomly generated password.

  I’ve searched on forum and on support but it seems that is not a problem for users.

  NoMachine authentication process authorise user to access desktop currently running on computer, no matter if it’s a user session or login screen.

  We don’t interact with a desktop itself and it’s up to a user to perform system authentication if a login screen is displayed.

  I wouldn’t say it’s a ‘stupid limitation’ 😉 As far as NoMachine is concerned, it’s not something other users have manifested a similar interest in. That said, we’ll happily evaluate how/when/if it can be done.
