Windows 10 fails to connect to XP RDP

[Defiler]

Hey guys,

A bit of an annoying issue I haven't figured out yet:

Client runs a XP VM which users remotely log in to, unfortunately the client has to run XP for some of their legacy software.

99% of this client's company has just upgraded to Windows 10... No one with Windows 10 can RDP into the XP VM, Windows 7 still works like a charm. As a temporary solution I setup Teamviewer on the VM so the client can still use it.

Anyone else had any issues like this? I'm quite stumped... Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Win10 rdp tries to do the whole workgroup auth thing... make sure that the connection its self is legacy and not using a workgroup - at least that worked for me between a Win7 and Win10 machines

You are using XP Pro or Ultimate? Lesser versions don't have the terminal services for RDP.

There was a XP Ultimate

Also do you have the latest RDP for XP installed - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/969084 though doubtful if it will work. What software is it?

Hehe, true. Vista had an Ultimate, not XP.
