BritgirlKeymasterAs we said, connecting to the remote desktop without a password in Windows is not possible for security reasons (in Windows OS).
Regarding the “force log out from the server”, you can achieve this by using the custom scripts functionality which is a feature of Enterprise Desktop. Please consult the guide:
12.3. Forcing a System Logout Upon Session Disconnection
https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/DT10R00171I also suggest you take a look at 12. Connections to the Remote Desktop and Collaborative Sessions in general which explains the default behaviour of NoMachine when connecting to the physical desktop.
BritgirlKeymasterOk, thanks for letting us know.

BritgirlKeymasterTo ehammer99, enable debug for the affected NoMachine server host, reboot the computer, restart the server if it’s still disabled, reproduce the error, collect the logs:

To maykro, inspect events in Operational log under Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\CodeIntegrity and look for potential issues with lsass process. Export the event and send to us for further analysis.
BritgirlKeymasterHi, so to connect to your remote Windows 7 computer you need to use the account credentials of that computer – by account credentials I mean username and password that you normally use when switching on the computer.
As the article states you need a password, the “password cannot be empty.” Logging in remotely without having set a password is forbidden by Windows’ own policies. The reason for this is explained here:

BritgirlKeymasterCan you tell us the Windows version you are using please?
BritgirlKeymasterThe patch was officially released in 7.1.3.
BritgirlKeymasterHi, we’re not able to reproduce unfortunately. Have you also tried the latest 7.3.2 (both sides)?
BritgirlKeymasterWe’ll be investigating whether what you request is possible. If so, we will open a Feature Request.
BritgirlKeymasterWe were able to reproduce the issue, so thanks for reporting.
Edit: the Trouble Report for this bug is here: https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/TR03S10143. You can sign up to receive notification of the fix using the link above.
BritgirlKeymasterHi,
did you enable port-forwarding on the router to which Computer 2 is attached? See here:

BritgirlKeymasterHi Gatos,
very strange…..can you send us the player side logs (follow the instructions here: https://www.nomachine.com/DT11R00181#2) and then send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com.
After you’ve done that, could you then try disabling UDP? Do you still encounter the same the same behaviour?
BritgirlKeymasterCan you tell us what distribution and version you have installed on the NoMachine server? What’s the desktop environmen? What version of NoMachine? What product have you installed – the free version, Workstation? What’s the client OS and version?
BritgirlKeymasterSetting the automatic disconnection of the NoMachine user after a certain time of inactivity would mitigate the problem of users forgetting to log off and leaving the session open.
To enable this feature, edit /usr/NX/etc/node.cfg and set an appropriate value (in seconds) for this key:
DisplayAgentExtraOptions “-timeout s”
For example, to disconnect the user after 10 minutes of inactivity, set:
DisplayAgentExtraOptions “-timeout 600”
