Windows 2012 Administrative Remote desktop connection Error message

Hi

We are having issues with login into 2012 servers via RDP sessions.

  There is a fix for Windows 2008

• The scenario you described is because of the enhanced security system in Windows Server 2008 and R2 Terminal Services (RDS). TheNetwork Level Authentication let the user authentication occurs earlier than connecting to the target server. To support this feature, the CredSSP must be enabled on the client sides. (The Windows Vista and Windows 7 have already enabled the feature by default.)

If this feature impact the new user to logon in your terminal environment, there is a workaround I find based on some tests:

1.     On the Terminal Server, openTerminal Server Configuration.
2.     Open RDP-Tcp configuration page.
3.     InGeneral tab, low down the Security Layer to RDP Security Layer.
4.     ClickOK to save the setting.

By these steps the client user can logon to the Terminal Server firstly and then finish the authentication. The Winlogon page will allow the user to change the password.

However, please note that this workaround will make the security lower and lose the protection brought by Network Level Authentication. For more information on Windows Server 2008 NLA, please refer to:

Configure Network Level Authentication for Remote Desktop Services Connections

But I cannot find this setting on the 2012 Servers..  Please assist and let us know where this setting is now in 2012 SERVER.

Thanks

Alex

all done
