Adjust security settings to allow launch of Logix Designer application from a remote computer

To allow users to launch the
Logix Designer
 application from a remote computer, change the default security settings in the
FactoryTalk
 Network Directory.
When users log on remotely and try to launch the application, the user is prompted to

 After providing the proper credentials, the user is sometimes still unable to log on. This happens because the policy
Require computer accounts for all client machines
 is enabled by default, and the remote computer is not in the
FactoryTalk Directory
 computer list.
