Remote Desktop Protocol Error

When i am remote desktoping to one of our terminal servers from windows 7 and then shadowing a users session as soon as i connect to the users session via Terminal Services Manager I get the following error:

'Because of a protocol error, this session will be disconnected. please try connecting to the remote computer again.'

It appears to be a problem with windows 7 remote desktop, as i also have XP and Vista machines which i do the same on but they work fine!

Any Ideas????

hi
I am having the same problem when conecting to my clients sessions. Did you find the solution.
It has only happened since i installed W7

Thanks
Philip

Yes i did find a solution See below:

Problem is the mstscax.dll and mstsc.exe in the system 32 folder and the other two files in the en-US or your language folder.

If you find these files on a working vista pc and copy them onto your windows 7 pc into the same folders they are on the vista machine, it should work!

If you dont have access to a working vista machine, post your email address and i will email you the files.

Cheers
AJ.

I am having this problem and cannot get access to those files. Can you email them to me? garfieldatdq, the @ sign, hotmail dot com.

Hi
Thanks AndrewLJones2000, your solution worked perfectly and I now have complete access to users sessions.

The instructions to be able to replace the old files are as follows: (Always create a restore point before doing this)


Windows security needs a little massaging to allow you to modify the original file, found in C:\Windows\System32, so....
1.Click Start, then type "cmd" in the search box & hit enter. This will launch the Command prompt
2.Type the following & hit enter: takeown /f C:\Windows\System32\FILENAME
3.Then type this & hit enter (NOTE: Replace USERNAME with YOUR USERNAME!! If your name has a space in it, enclose it with quotes, like "Mike Garcen")
cacls C:\Windows\System32\FILENAME /G USERNAME:F
4.Then go to your Windows Explorer, and go to C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\System32\en-us
5.Rename the original FILENAMES to something else, like "FILENAME.ORIGINAL", just in case
6.*NOTE* If you are unable to do the above, try rebooting into SAFE MODE
7.Then copy & paste the FILEs you downloaded in Step 1 into the appropriate folders
8.And voila!
