Remote Desktop doesn't recognize username change
- by Unsigned
There are two active user accounts on the Windows 7 Professional server, Owner, and Guest.
Owner is an Administrator with a password.
Guest is the default Guest account with no password, but has been added to Remote Desktop Users.
When attempting to connect to the server via a Windows 7 Professional client, Guest accepts RD connections fine, however, Owner throws an error "Unable to connect to Local Security Authority."
I created a new Administrator account, named Remote, with the same password as Owner. Remote Desktop worked perfectly. I then deleted Owner, and renamed Remote to Owner.
Now, Remote Desktop gives the same error ("Unable to connect to Local Security Authority") when attempting to log into the new Owner. However, attempting to log into Remote (even though it was renamed to Owner), works.
Completely at a loss here, what is going on? Why won't Owner work, and why does Remote Desktop still use the old name on the renamed account?
