Remote Desktop Connections to Windows Server 2008 Fail When Connecting from Older RDP Client
Resolution
Scenario and Resolution:
SonicWall support has come accross an issue where a Remote Desktop Connection to a Windows 2008 server may fail for a client that is running an older version of the Remote Desktop Client.
Windows Server 2008 may be configured to allow only RDP version 6 clients to connect. If that's the case, you can change the server's settings to allow older clients to connect:
- Open Control Panel.
- Click System, and then click the Remote tab.
- Change the option for Remote Desktop as shown in the screenshot below by selecting Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop:
