# RDP username of Entra ID client automatically changes on Windows 11

In the Microsoft implementation, if the RDP username does not contain ***“\”*** or ***“@”*** and has no explicit domain, it automatically switches to ***"EntraID\user"*** when the client joins Entra ID, regardless of what the target system is. This issue occurs on Windows 11.

### Solution

The solution is to set a period "." as the domain for the RDP connection entry. Follow these instructions:

1. In Remote Desktop Manager, right-click your RDP entry and select ***Properties***.
2. In the RDP entry properties, write a period "." inside the ***Domain*** field.
