What Should I Do If I Cannot Use MSTSC to Log In to an ECS Running the Windows Server 2012 OS?
Symptom
An ECS running the Windows Server 2012 OS has password authentication configured during ECS creation. When a user used the initial password and MSTSC to log in to the ECS, the login failed and the system displayed the message "You must change your password before logging on for the first time. Please update your password or contact your system administrator or technical support."
Possible Causes
The local computer used by the user is running the Windows 10 OS.
Due to limitations, the Windows 10 OS does not support remote logins to an ECS running the Windows Server 2012 OS using the initial password.
Solutions
- Solution 1
Use a local computer running the Windows 7 OS to remotely log in to the ECS running the Windows Server 2012 OS.
- Solution 2
Retain the original local computer and change the initial login password.
- Use VNC to log in to the ECS running the Windows Server 2012 OS for the first time.

Retain the original local computer and initial login password.
