That did it! I am not sure whether it was an update to the software at some point, or what it was but it is now working!!!

Thanks so much, and sorry it took me so long to get back to this!

Thanks,

Yeah, I am connecting to a Windows Server 2012 R2, and I get the same error that is in the picture I posted in the first question. Something like "The connection cannot be completed because authentication needs to be enabled.....". Now, just to clarify this only happens in embedded mode. If I use the built-in MS RDP it works fine, and if I use RDM and choose external display then it works. It only doesn't work when using embedded mode for some reason.

That is not the case for me. I have set that registry key on the destination server, and I am forcing admin mode through group policy and through the admin option within your program to be sure. When I do that I am unable to connect to the server in question, but if I use regular remote desktop that is built-in there are no problems.

Thanks,

Jared

Thank you very much! I look forward to hearing back from you.

Yes, I have been setting the "Restricted Admin Mode" option, and I even tested by forcing restricted admin mode using group policy.

Yes, I sure am on Windows 10! :)

I just tried it with that checked and unfortunately it didn't make any difference. Is there anything else I can try?

I have been trying to use the RDP restricted admin mode with an embedded window, but it doesn't seem to work. The only way I can get it to work is to do an external display. Support for this was supposedly added in a recent release, but I am unable to get it working. Am I missing something?

@Jared

When you try to do a logoff, does it open you the Run window with ashutdown inside?

If yes, could you try to uncheck the Disable run dialog check in File -> Options -> Types -> RDP.

Best regards,

This worked for me! Thanks!

I am experiencing this same issue with 2.6.3.0 of Remote Desktop Manager Free. Is there any update on this?
