Error RDC

Solution to solve this problem:

1. In Client Side

  • Run gpedit.msc

  • Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Credentials Delegation -> Encryption Oracle Remediation

Change it to Enable and in Protection level, change back to Vulnerable.

I am not sure if it may rollback any risk of an attacker exploiting my connection. I hope Microsoft will fix this soon so I could restore the setting to the recommend setting Mitigated.

  1. Logon to Windows Server as a local administrator and open Server Manager from the desktop Task Bar or Start Screen.
  2. In the left pane of Server Manager, click Local Server.
