Description:
If you enable this setting, users cannot automatically log on to a terminal server or access a Remote Desktop by supplying their passwords in the Remote Desktop Connection client. The local computer administrator cannot configure the computer to allow automatic sending of passwords.

If you disable this setting, the local computer administrator cannot change it, and users can send passwords automatically if they configure their client to do so.

If you do not configure this setting, the local computer administrator can use the Terminal Services Configuration tool to either allow or prevent automatic sending of passwords.
