So i set up a brand new server running 2008r2 rdweb, I created a custom RDP file pointing to the server (remote.domain.com) and after launching it and authenticating , another RDP prompt comes up.
Note; The server's FQDN is exactly that of the dns name I'm using to connect,
(remote.domain.com)
under "host configuration" "log on settings" I have selected "use
client-provided log on information"
What I dont have an ssl cert for the RD server.
TIA,
