Screen locked on remote computer

[BSlickMusic]

Anyone having this issue? I played a little bit last night with no issues, but now I can't play anything at all. When I try to open anything, I get the "Screen locked on remote computer" error, and my host computer has gone to the login screen. Even after logging in to the host computer, and trying to stream again, it goes back to the login screen giving me the same error. The host computer is Win 8.1, streaming to Win 7.

I'm on linux, so connect via mstsc is not an option for me... neither for SteamOS users!
I tried UltraVNC, because my windows box is headless... yes, I know I could use RealVNC and connect everything and configure and then disconnect everything all wires, but I'd spent all the evening figuring how to do it without wiring and unwiring...

Now I'm trying with CRDP, and I will try it as last resort, I do not had chrome installed because I don't want anything from the big brother, but I will try anyway. I will report if this works.

This is a huge issue for me. I just can't leave my primary machine unlocked all the time :(

VNC seems to be the only way to have a windows headless system.

If you cannot leave your gaming desktop unlocked for whatever reason, then you should probably use VNC.

Otherwise, my solution above works. Only downside is that the gaming desktop is not password protected. This is not a problem for me, as no one has physical access to my computer except for people I allow into my house.

Your above solution works... if you have windows machines. In my case, I have all linux boxes and rdesktop does not have (or does not work) the /console option... :| so every time I connect via rdp, screen locks once again...

Ah, if everything is Linux then I guess the tscon.exe file does not exist :)

However, only the host has to be using Windows for the solution I posted to work. The tscon.exe command is executed on the host machine.

Edit: I haven't tried this from a Linux client myself, as I have only Linux virtual machines. But maybe I could still test this.

Make a CMD file on your desktop and put "tscon 1 /dest:console" in it. When you're done RDPing, just run it and you can stream again.

This is not working for me. I'm connecting via my Lubuntu laptop using Remmina to my Win8.1 pc. When I try to run "tscon 1 /dest:console", I get this error:

Could not connect sessionID 1 to sessionname console, Error code 7045
Error [7045]: The requested session access is denied.

Any help?

nvm, I figured it out. run "query user" to find out what your session ID is. Turns out I was logged in as sessionID 2, therefore having to use "tscon 2 /des:console"

here is a way to automate this....

for /f "skip=1 tokens=3 usebackq" %%s in (
`query user %username%`
) do (
%windir%\System32\tscon.exe %%s /dest:console
)

Awesome thanks for that. I haven't really done any streaming since, but I'll be sure to make that change when I start messing with it again.

for windows users : i use splashdot personal to use RDP its easy and it keeps the system unlocked (if configured as default setting in windows) while you still are able to have some credentials to access the system. Then you can disable RDP support on that desktop to at least increase security on that system to some extend.

Thanks, Sprinx. This worked perfectly.

Great - glad I could help!

This is going to sound weird, but after just getting it working, I installed Win7 on my new SSD and now the shortcut doesn't work—even when created from scratch, as per these instructions. I have no clue why.
