Hi All!
I've got a strange problem and have tried many things, but I'm not able to fix it...
I've setup a Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Server with Remote Desktop Gateway and Remote Desktop Web and Remote Desktop Licensing, all on 1 machine. Everything worked fine for a few days, but after changing the short time format and copying it to the default and new user accounts, it seems to break the signing of RDP files. Even after changing the short time format back, it is still broken. I've got this problem when I connect from different clients with Windows 8, Windows 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows 7 SP1.
When I disable the RDP signing, I can log on without a problem. But when I try to sign the RDP files, I get an error stating the following:
Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because an error occurred on the remote computer that you want to connect to. Contact your network administrator for assitance.
If I use the C:\Windows\Web\RDWeb\Pages\rdp\Server.rdp file that is signed; I can't connect. If I then open this file with notepad en remove the signing lines, I can connect. So it must have something to do with the signing, but I can't figure it out.
What I've tried so far;
Completely remove the RD Gateway/Web/IIS roles and reïnstalled it > no fix
Exported the SSL cert, removed it from the machine in the Certificate MMC console, imported it again during reïnstall of the roles > no fix
Changed the RDP Security Layer > no fix
Disable and Enable signing > no fix
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thnx!
