I have noticed that some of my printer drivers work on 6.0 and the same ones don't work on 6.1. It's really annoying trying to redirect local printer to TS session. I am using Server 2008 R2 and all my clients are XP with SP3. This problem is happening with only Xerox, and updating drivers didn't solve the problem. I had to rebuild the server. It was painful for sure.

I would recommend you test it all out in a testing environment first before you update your systems enterprise wide. This is just a general statement about the RDP version 6.0 and 6.1. This is not an answer to any specific questions.

Hi,

since the upgrade to SP3, I can no longer connect to WinServer 2000 running Terminal Services. I get an error

"Because of a protocol error, this session will be diconnected. Please try connecting to the remote computer again."

Needless to say, no point re-trying as there is now a difference in the protocl and the two do not communicate.

Is there something I can do to the Win2000 Server (without a total upgrade to a later verion) or at the client end to regain connectivity?

Rosti.

Hi Tom, thanks for stopping by and kind of sucks some of your users are getting that error when they upgraded to XP SP3. have you check the security setting on the remote desktop client of the users that upgraded to SP3? on the Advanced tab, there is an option ” If the actual verification does not meet minimum policy requirements” make sure “connect and don’t warn me” is selected.

let me know what’s your solution though.

Hi Mark, to check what version of remote desktop you are using, once you open remote desktop connection right-click on the small computer icon on the upper left corner of the title bar, then click on ABOUT.
