Just wanted to share a fix for this error when trying to RD to an XP
box. I spent a few days trying to fix it and there were a ton of
articles and blogs that offered several solutions that didn't work.
Most were geared toward the Terminal Services server. Mine was a client
issue.
I am an admin on a LAN that has a few hundred XP boxes. 2 of them gave
an error when trying to connect via Remote Desktop:
The connection was ended because of a network error. Please try
connecting to the remote computer again
A frequent cause of these problems stems from issues with some registry
values in the TermService\Parameters registry key. To fix, select the
following key:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermServices\Parameters
After doing this, delete the Certificate, X509 Certificate, and X509
Certificate ID values, and restart. The key will be regenerated. I only
had the Certificate value, but should any of these exist, delete and
restart.
WARNING: Always back up the registry before making changes.
