Strange RDP / Remote Desktop problem
- by John Landheer
I'll try to be as specific as I can be:
Server is running SBS 2008 R2 (with all updates)
Server is connected to the internet
Server has 2 NIC's, one is disabled
Server is running RDP Service (accessible directly from the internet, I know, not as secure as it should be)
Computers A and B are on the same local net.
Computers A and B are both Windows 7.
Users X and Y are both admins on the server
Computer A can connect as user X to the server with mstsc
Computer A can connect as user Y to the server with mstsc
Computer B can connect as user X to the server with mstsc
computer B CANNOT connect as user Y to the server with mstsc!
The last point is the problem, I get an authentication error. This used to work flawlessly for the last year. The server and desktops have been rebooted.
I find it very strange....
