Windows Server 2012 R2 force smart card

Simon771

I came upon a little problem with new terminal servers that I'm working on.

When I use RDP to connect from my PC to Windows Server 2012, it brings me to rdp session but by default it's asking me for my username and password credentials (AD credentials).

What I want is, that when user type server name in Remote desktop connection, it will bring him RDP session and ask for smart card PIN instead of domain user credentials.

 

We have that somehow working on Windows Server 2008, but can't figure out how to do it on Server 2012 R2.

I did use Group Policy to disable any other logon than SmartCard. So even if user tried to type his AD user and password it will ask him to log on with smart card. But to do so, you need to always make few additional clicks. 

 

Is there any way, that it would ask for smart card PIN as default?

Are the computers registered with a Domain? it should just do it by default

 

You might try and create a new Certificate Template.
