11th MVP Award Rewarded

I am actually on vacation, but as I sit here under the summer sun, toes in the pool and a cold drink within reach, I have been waiting for that email confirming that I’ve been awarded my 11th Microsoft MVP Award!

RDP 6.1 in WinXP VS Win2008

What you need to do to RDP into a NLA enabled Win2008 servier, is to do some regediting.

Here is the article I used to solve my issue:
