The remote session was disconnected because of a decryption error at the server.
Simply put, we are getting "The remote session was disconnected because of a decryption error at the server." when trying to remote into a Windows server 2k3 Enterprise SP2 box. RDP is enabled, I checked out the basics in the terminal services configuration, remote users are setup properly, and firewalls are off.

My computer and another one I have used arent joined to the domain. For mine the local policy is disabled and it is not defined in the default policy on the server.
Are you running the latest versions of RDP on both server and workstation?
ASKER
Mstsc version 6.0.6000.16459 on the server and version 6.0.6001.18000 on my laptop.
What happens if you launch RDP from your Vista box like so: mstsc.exe /admin
Do you still get that error?

Its XP SP3, and yes I still get the same error.
Is there anything in the server logs (application, security, system) that record this connection attempt and failure? Can you send me all the events that are related?
ASKER
Screen shot of event being logged from system logs upon RDP attempt. Nothing in security or application.

Make sure it's disabled. It might be enabled on the client only and set to Not Defined in the Default Policies - if this is the case, disable it on the local client and leave the Default Policies as they are.
