    Make Splashtop ask for Windows credentials

    Overview: This article will walk you through the process of activating Splashtop to require Windows credentials when attempting to connect. 

    Time estimated to complete this procedure:  less than 5 minutes 

    1. Open an Elevated CMD
    2. Run the following commands :
    wmic os get osarchitecture | find "64-bit" && reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Splashtop Inc.\Splashtop Remote Server" /v ReqPassword /t REG_DWORD /d 8 /f || reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Splashtop Inc.\Splashtop Remote Server" /v ReqPassword /t REG_DWORD /d 8 /f 

    net stop "SplashtopRemoteService"  

    net start "SplashtopRemoteService" 
     

    Once the script is executed, when trying to connect to that machine, you will receive the following prompt:

    The relevant script can also be located under the Script Shared Library section in Atera (Admin > Scripts > Shared Script Library), 'Request Credentials'

    Note: You have the option to add the script to an IT Automation Profile and execute it automatically on newly installed agents by checking the checkbox next to Run the profile on newly installed agents:
