When I try I get an error message saying that my computer does not support Network Level Authentication. I am doing remote desktop across a VPN from a PC on a different domain.
Is this possible?

    Go to system properties, go to the "remote" tab and change the option to "Allow connections from computer running any version of Remote Desktop" to turn NLA off. (On the server, that is)

    • Right click on computer and click properties
    • Click on the Remote settings link (left side) and you'll jump right to the remote tab of system properties, fyi.

  2. You are probably still using an older version of RDP client ... get the 6.x version and you should be good: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6E1EC93D-BDBD-4983-92F7-479E088570AD&displaylang=en
