Celebrating 10 Years as a Microsoft MVP!

on
Back from my vacation, I am thrilled to share that I have been awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for the 10th consecutive year. In addition to being recognized as an expert within Teams, I am have also been recognized as an expert with Microsoft Copilot. This means a lot to me.  Being an MVP has been an incredibly rewarding journey, both personally and professionally. It has provided me with countless opportunities to grow, learn, and connect with like-minded professionals who share a passion for technology and innovation.  The award is not just a title; it's a testament to the hard work, dedication, and contributions to the tech community. It's a privilege to be part of such an esteemed group of individuals who share the same love for technology, and sharing their knowledge about it.  As I reflect on the past decade, I am thankful for the experiences and knowledge I've gained. This recognition motivates me to continue sharing my expertise, mentor

RDP 6.1 in WinXP VS Win2008

on
Why oh why do they do it this way....?

I am not always impressed by the implementations from Redmond. But this one actually gave me something to think about, and stole a few hours of work....

First of all, Included in WinXP SP3 is the RDP 6.1, but the file version states 6.0? What is that about. The version number was the first thing I checked when the RDP client told me NLA was not supported.

I found quite a few posts where people asks about the same thing, but no answers.

but ok, I have the right version of RDP, which is supposed to support NLA. Why doesn't it work. Well apparently MS decided to include the 6.1 in SP3, but not to turn the feature on by default.
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:
