Has anyone got their TP2 to remote desktop connect to Vista Home premium?

RDP works fine, but by default home editions do not have the capability which is the confusion I'm sure.

Do you require network level authentication for remote desktop, or do you allow any client to connect? The authentication is something new to the vista remote desktop settings and carried over into W7. The client for Windows XP was updated to support this as well, but it could be that the client on your phone is not capable of using this feature, hence the reason it isn't working.

Well there is a thought. You actually had me thinking... i did remember seeing that setting on windows 7 but when i go to system properties and go to the remote tab the only option i see is a check box to allow remote assistance and then when i go to advanced there is the option to allow this computer to be controlled remotely. Then there is a section on time for invitations. not a section for network level authentication like in windows 7.

But if this setting is on the ultimate version of vista and not on the Home version... is there another way to check if i am requring network level authentication? like the registry? or somewhere less tricky >.>

The problem is Remote Desktop is not a feature of Vista Home Premium. You need Vista Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise to be able to connect TO a Vista machine with Remote Desktop. You can use the Remote Desktop Client on any version of Vista to connect to a different machine. Attached is what your Remote tab would look like if you had RD capabilities. Your only option seems to be third party software.

Connect to it how and with what? I'd be curious to see this batch file and what it does. Where did you get it from?

Edit: I think I found the batch files and DLL that you installed. And since you do say this worked from a WinXP machine, I'd guess the Network Level Authentication has something to do with it. But you can't check that because RD doesn't show up on your remote tab. How big is the sysdm.cpl file in your %Windows%\System32 folder (actual bytes preferably)?
