Thank you so much. I searched for 4 days before finding this, and it worked. My issue arose when I found spyware infected files in roaming profiles on a client’s Server 2003 machine. After cleaning the spyware (OnlineGaming) the RDP failed. I thought that the spyware may have messed up the encryption for RDP, but not so. This fix worked. Thanks.
