My W8 machine is connected to domain zen. If I rdp to the W8 machine, I can log in as a local user without problems. If I try to log in as a domain user, I am prompted for a smart card instead of a password.
Any ideas why?
Note that Interactive login: require smart card is disabled in group policy:
And here is the output from rsop.msc:
Some additional information on this one. If my connecting machine is on the same domain/network as the W8 machine, then I am prompted for a password as usual. If the machine is remote, on a different domain, then I am prompted for a smart card. In addition, the machine I am connecting from that gets the smartcard prompt is an XP box – so it may be an issue confined to mstsc.exe version 6.0.x – with 6.1 the authentication is managed prior to the rdp gui session being established.
I haven't isolated exactly which of these factors triggers the different response.

I managed to bypass the problem by clicking on "other user". I was then able to enter my username and could enter a password.
