Issues with XP Remote Desktop Versions 5 vs 6 and NT4 Terminal Ser

[Guest mopalinski]

On XP desktops that have not been upgraded to SP3, I am able to access my NT4

Terminal server using RD 5.1.2600.2180, however when I attempt to access the

same NT4 Terminal server from a PC with SP3 and RD 6.0.6001.18000, I am not

able to access the NT4 Terminal server and get the following error: "Because

of a protocol error, this session will be disconnected. Please try connecting

to the remote computer again."

 

If I copy the Remote Desktop version 5.1.2600.2180 to the upgraded PC along

with the associated DLL, I am able to once again connect to the NT4 server.

 

Does there exist a fix to make the newer version of Remote Desktop connect

to the NT4 server without getting the protocol error?

Have you checked the server authentication options under the

"Advanced" tab in the rdp client?

It seems that MS abandoned NT4 support in recent versions of the RDP

client.

You have to use an older version of mstsc.exe.
