desktop remote with MS account?

[ToineF]

I have a windows 8 computer plugged in my tv and it has a microsoft account. (lets say mytv@hotmail.com)

I try to connect remotely from a windows 10 machine.

I cant seem to enter the right user name. I have set up the tv computer to allow remote desktop and it works great with the local user i created, but with it doesn't work with the microsoft account.

The name of the pc plugged into the tv is called TV.

I also added the user into the remote settings.


I tried the users (from my windows 10 machine):

TV\mytv@hotmail.com
TV\mytv
mytv
mytv@hotmail.com
MicrosoftAccount\mytv@hotmail.com

non work

Weird is that it works with the local account. Does anybody know how to do this with a microsoft account?

Cheers

I found the answer to my question.

you have to use the actual name of the account. Most likely the first name you entered.

What version of Windows 8? You need Pro or Enterprise

yea it's a pro version.

Like I said, i figured out the answer.

While I am at it. Do you know a way to have the computer that I am controlling not being logged out. I would like to have the computer that is being controlled show exactly what is going on instead of closing the session.
