RDP into XP after NewSID

[Guest ChrisW]

Hiya,

 

I made an image of Windows XP Professional SP3. This has a whole lotta

software and settings. The only thing that doesn’t work is I cant RDP

in. Everything else is peaches.

 

The error I get is:

 

Event Type: Error

Event Source: TermDD

Event Category: None

Event ID: 50

Description:

The RDP protocol component "DATA ENCRYPTION" detected an error in the

protocol stream and has disconnected the client.

 

So I get this error. It doesn’t happen on the original image. It only

happens after I run NewSID. So RDP works on the original image and

breaks after NewSID. I can get it working again by deleting the

Certificate registry key. But RDP only works one time. Once. Then

WinXP recreates the Certificate registry key and RDP breaks again. I

found that fix in KB323497.

 

"The RDP Protocol Component "DATA ENCRYPTION" Detected an Error..."

I did some other searching around and found that some people get the

same error on Win2003. The way they fix it on 2003 is to recreate the

RDP listener. But I cant do that on XP because the Terminal Services

Configuration (tscc.msc) console wont run. It says "MMC could not

create the snap-in." So maybe recreating rdp-tcp will work but I

haven’t been able to try it because I don’t know how to recreate it

without Terminal Services Configuration.

 

Just sos we are on the same page, Terminal Services is the same as

Remote Desktop. The protocol that runs on WinXP is RDP 6.1. I need to

RDP into the XP computer, not RDP from it to a Terminal Services

server. I do have RDP enabled under My Computer > Properties > Remote

tab. Everythings on one hub and there’s no firewall between my

computer and the XP box and no firewall on the XP box itself. I know

RDP is enabled because I see port 3389 is open. The problem only

happens after running NewSID, it works before, and can only be fixed

once by deleting the Certificate registry key.

 

Banging my head on this for days. Someone have a great idea on how to

fix RDP?
