XP SP3 to W2K3 cluster:Connection Authentication with ADM

[Guest Kristof Poppe]

Hi there,

 

We are busy upgrading our 400+ workstations to XP SP3.

Currently we're on SP2 level and connection to an application TS cluster

running W2K3 SP1. After upgrading the clients to XP SP3 (which use hardcoded

username and password) we receive the warning: "Remote Desktop cannot verify

the identity of the computer you want to connect to…”

Is there a way to bypass this using eg. a group policy instead of adding

“enablecredsspsupport:i:0” to each RDP-file ?

 

Thanks for your input !

There is a group policy "Configure server authentication for client" under

"Remote Desktop Connection Client" setting in Vista SP1 and up. But since

you are using XP, the policy will be not there. But you can directly set the

registry key for that policy on XP and the client should pick it up.

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services

Value: AuthenticationLevel

Type: DWORD

Set this to "0" to not receive this prompt.
