RDP using .rdp files to log in as multiple users

Question

I am trying to set up a batch script to login to a specific server as multiple users via Remote Desktop Connection. On Remote Desktop Connection I edit the Computer and Username then save the credentials in a .rdp file. However, when I call the .rdp files in the script they only use the user credentials of the previously logged in user i.e. user1 will be logged in 3 times instead of user1, user2, user3.

In the .rdp files that I saved I don't see any entries for username or password and manually trying to add them doesn't do anything. I'm working with RDC version 6 on Windows Server '03.

Any help or suggestions would be great!

Starting with Remote Desktop Client 6, the credentials are stored in the Windows user account. You can view them with NetPass and modify using Credential Management API.
