Vista Remote Desktop Client Compatibility

[Guest Peter Clark]

I have to support several Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server edition

servers. I recently upgraded my desktop computer to Vista SP1. When I

attempt to connect to the 4.0 servers, I receive the error "Because of

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

connecting to the remote computer again."

 

1. Is Vista SP1's version of RDP incompatible with Windows NT 4.0

Terminal Server?

2. If so, is there a workaround short of downgrading my PC?

 

I have already set the advanced option to not use a TS gateway.

RDC from Vista SP1 to Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server is an unsupported

scenario and hence it is very possible that it won't work.

 

Thanks & Regards
