sysinternals Remote Desktop Connection Manager - use a web account

Question

Does sysinternals Remote Desktop Connection Manager support the use of a web account to sign into the remote computer? If so, how do I set that up?

Answer 1

Hello,

RDCMan currently supports authentication using local accounts and domain accounts, and does not support direct login to remote computers using Web accounts (such as Microsoft accounts, Azure AD accounts).

If you need to log in to a remote computer using a Web account, consider using Windows' built-in Remote Desktop client (mstsc.exe).

Use MSTSC or universal Remote Desktop client instead of RDMan in Windows 10 - Windows Client | Microsoft Learn
