2003 Terminal Server and Vista Remote Desktop

[Guest Dennis_S]

We had a laptop that was junked out by HP through Best Buy. Best Buy gave us

a new replacement, but we were not able to get one with XP. It came with

Vista Home Premium.

 

I am not able to log onto our 2003 Terminal Server using the Vista version

of Remote Desktop. I get this warning -

 

Remote Desktop cannot verify the identity of the computer you are trying to

connect to. This problem can occur if -

 

1) The remote computer is running a version of Windows that is earlier than

Vista.

 

2) The remote computer is configured to support only the RDP security layer.

 

Do you want to connect anyway? YES/NO

 

If I choose Yes, TS will not log me on. I get a grayed out logon screen

dialog box. After a few seconds TS says it cannot log me on and to verify

the logon info. The fields are now not grayed out so I renter, but not able

to log on.

 

Vista Remote Desktop prompts for a user name and password prior to connecting.

 

Will the XP version on Remote Desktop run on Vista? What are my options?

 

Thanks much.

hi,

on remote descktop connection on vista clint push the option button and go

to advanced tab and choose the always connect, even if authentication fails

on authentication options.

 

dont forget to put "domain_name\" or "ts_name\" in the front of user name

depending of what is the default logon on the TS server settings.

Found out that you must have Vista Business or Ultimate Editions to connect

to 2003 terminal servers. We had Home Premium.

 

Thanks.

I get the same error message from a Vista Home Premium computer trying

to connect to a SBS 2003 machine via RDP. But in this case, the

connection *is* eventually successful when you click 'Yes' to the error

prompt. Would love to not have to go through the process every time though.
