I'm trying to help a friend. His server is running 2012 r2. When ever you type the IP address for the server from anywhere a prompt for a login and password comes up.
I can't disable IP address because people remote into the server. Is there a way to disable that prompt? I would like a for a time out or page error to come up.
Thanks!

    Hi there,

    If you need to disable connectivity to the Terminal Server, you have several options. Disabling connectivity for Terminal Server Clients is different from disabling normal user connectivity. For non-client connectivity, you can pause or stop the Net Logon or Server services in Control Panel/Services. However, the Terminal Server service can't be paused, stopped, or disabled.

    You can follow the steps from the link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/remote/disable-terminal-server-client-logons
