Like in most small offices, unfortunately, the money is just not available to purchase a separate terminal server. Since I already have remote desktop set up for those of us who use stationary office computers and stationary home computers, I was hoping I could use the same technology and settings for everyone, including those who just use their laptop for both home and away games. But since Remote Desktop is looking for a computer name, as opposed to a user name initially, am I out of luck?
Oh, one more question: when I log onto my office computer using first the VPN connection and then Remote Desktop, when I put the computer name in (both as computer1 and then as computer1.mydomain.local) it says it can't be found. But if I put the IP address in, it's fine. Confusing for users to do this, and it's DHCP. IP stays the same mostly so it's not a gigantic deal, but don't want users to have to type IP address, and why won't it find the computer name itself? All computers are added in ADUC.... Am I missing some backslashes? Seems like this method of naming would work.
