Passwords with double quotes in it do not get passed to cmdkey properly

[xeropresence]

I spent a bunch of time trying to figure out why this one RDP server would always prompt me for credentials while my other servers would work fine. I went down the rabbit hole of group policies and bunch of things before I was clued into this issue.

cmdkey.exe /generic:TERMSRV/ip /user:Administrator /pass:my"password

Doesn't work

I tried every variation of escaping stuff: wrap in quotes, triple quotes, double quotes, backslash, and up carrot and none of them would yield the correct password when queried via powershell

Install-Module -Name TUN.CredentialManager
Get-StoredCredential -Target 'TERMSRV/ip' -AsCredentialObject

Any ideas would be appreciated, if this can't be fixed I think a message box explaining why credentials are being prompted would be a good addition.

Thank you for reporting this. Unfortunately I don't have the time to look into it right now.
