You can also set your password complexity requirements, since this is an overkill for my home server, I’ve set it to “Not Defined”. This is also where you can set a minimum password age, I set mine to “zero” to disable it. Once you are there you can edit a whole bunch of password security options. Here you want to go into policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Account Policies.
Once opened, expand your domain section. There you will see your “Default Domain Policy”, right click on it and go to edit. If it is a domain controller then you can find the Group Policy editor by doing a search in Windows Server 2012 as shown above. If your’s isn’t you can change it from Local Policies under Administrative Tools in the Control Panel. Since my server is a domain controller I went into group policy editor to make the changes.
So I had to say goodbye to my Ubuntu to Windows Server Remote desktop connection through Remmina.ĭisable Windows 2012 Server Password Expiry Remember that if you enable Network Level Authentication, you can only remote desktop into the server from a windows machine, If you are running Window XP, you will need SP3. I left the Network level authentication alone as it adds an additional security level for my server. I’ve also made this user a part of domain admins, remote desktop admins and schema admins. After logging in, the first thing I did was create a backup admin account in case of any issues like this in the future. Now i had to go get the computer from the basement, bring it back up and login locally. I believe the reason for this was because I had “network level authentication” enabled. Please update your password if it has expired. This could be due to an expired password. The local Security Authority cannot be contacted. So I changed the password but then it wouldn’t let me connect back again. It ran beautifully for 40 some days and then it asked me to change the password while attempting a remote session. I’ve had this setup in my home basement and there was no monitor, mouse etc. If yours is not then you can change it in the local policy. I don’t change this setting in the local policy because my server is setup as a domain controller. When I first setup my server I forgot to disable the password expiration setting in group policy.
