I have a EX495 that I recently upgraded cpu/mem/os to whs 2011. Everything was working fine. Then suddenly one day, I can no longer RDP to the server with saved credentials.

Why would this suddenly change? I have tried to edit group policy for saved credentials but that did not work either. No matter what I do I have to manually enter the password now as opposed to using a RDP shortcut before that saved everything. I have tested this from serveral computers from other networks so I know its not the client. So annoyed.

Are you using the Administrator account and password to make the RPD Connection? If your trying your user account information it will not work.

Yes, Administrator account.

ok and just to make sure because this happens a lot are you also using the actual Server Password.

Yes, I actually just solved the problem. I tried this several times yesterday and it did not work. It's working now.
In RDP you have to put WORKGROUP/Administrator as the user and it will allow saved credential connections.

On my servers it shows up Server_Name/Administrator

Happy to hear you got it figured out.

I think because I am connecting from my work Domain, I have to specify the WORKGROUP for the RDP to the WHS. My WHS2011 in on workgroup.

I have a blended environment here at the house between my older toys in a WORKGROUP and my WS2012E Server and Clients associated with it being part of a DOMAIN. Its not the first time I worked in a mixed environment but it was a bit of a pain at first when I upgraded my WHS2011 server to run WS2012E but I also run both WHSv1 and 2011 servers here and do have multiple devices that are setup to work in a WORKGROUP but its not something I would recommend to the average person unless they have a very good reason for wanting to do such a thing.
