Marc, I discovered that the Microsoft RDP ActiveX requires the attached CredSSP settings in the registry in order to connect to an Hyper-V host on port 2179 for VM console access.
Thanks, Alessandro Note: Save the following text in a .reg file in order to import in in the registry. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Credssp\PolicyDefaults\AllowDefaultCredentials] "Hyper-V"="Microsoft Virtual Console Service/*" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Credssp\PolicyDefaults\AllowDefaultCredentialsDomain] "Hyper-V"="Microsoft Virtual Console Service/*" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Credssp\PolicyDefaults\AllowFreshCredentials] "Hyper-V"="Microsoft Virtual Console Service/*" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Credssp\PolicyDefaults\AllowFreshCredentialsDomain] "Hyper-V"="Microsoft Virtual Console Service/*" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Credssp\PolicyDefaults\AllowFreshCredentialsWhenNTLMOnly] "Hyper-V"="Microsoft Virtual Console Service/*" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Credssp\PolicyDefaults\AllowFreshCredentialsWhenNTLMOnlyDomain] "Hyper-V"="Microsoft Virtual Console Service/*" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Credssp\PolicyDefaults\AllowSavedCredentials] "Hyper-V"="Microsoft Virtual Console Service/*" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Credssp\PolicyDefaults\AllowSavedCredentialsDomain] "Hyper-V"="Microsoft Virtual Console Service/*" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Credssp\PolicyDefaults\AllowSavedCredentialsWhenNTLMOnly] "Hyper-V"="Microsoft Virtual Console Service/*" On Apr 29, 2012, at 23:34 , Marc-André Moreau wrote: > Hi Alessandro, > > I'm not sure if this is fully documented in the specs, but I think it would > be very helpful if you could take a packet capture with wireshark so we can > have a sample of the connection sequence messages. > > I don't think anyone has implemented it, but it does not look that hard to > implement.
