Issue regarding Remote Desktop Preview for Windows Phone 8.1

[Kaushik Banerjee]

i dont use any credentials to login my pc but in remote desktop app it is asking me to enter credentials what should i enter?

Just give a username and password of your choice and please remember it. Click on the save password box. And then click connect.

Hey thanks, it is working. Now accessed the same link from IE and it redirected to Store automatically.

Previously i directly searched the store with app name

Glad that got it working

I just did everything you suggested in this thread, enabled access and typing IPv4 adress of PC and it still won't connect. Error 0x204.

Assuming you are using windows 8 , if you are using a local account for signing into your PC. If not then your microsoft account. You are saying that you dont use any local account so I would suggest you to try entering your microsoft account credentials

Yes, you need a password for RDP to work
Also make sure you don't have any 3rd party virus software that has a firewall which needs configuring for access

No buddy! You don't need to have a local account with password. Have you tried connecting the remote desktop preview app without entering any credential? I mean leave the credential spaces blank and then connect

So, most of the time it wont connect saying that my PC can't be found, error: 0x104. I have gotten it working a couple of times though just by repeatedly trying to reconnect so I know I have everything set up correctly. Every now and then it will throw up a screen saying "The certificate of the remote PC can't be verified." If I try to connect anyway, sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont.

What does this certificate business mean? Is this what is preventing the app from connecting most of the time? How do I fix it?
