Can't connect to desktop from RWW menu
Hi,I have set up SBS2011 and it is working fine except one thing.
When I try to connect to the desktop on SBS2011 network, I get an error like you see in the screenshot. I downloaded "Certificate" from Public folder and installed it, but to no avail.
So I was curious to see if I can connect to RWW. It works. I can see the desktop computer(all Win7 Pros), but when I click to connect, I get the same error.
However, from any computer on SBS2011 network, if I run Remote Desktop to connect to any desktop, it works.
So it is apparent that SBS2011 is blocking the connection somehow I can run Remote Desktop Connection from any desktop PC on this network and connect using either computer name or IP address.
Can you help?
Thanks.

@Cliff,
$10/year is much easier solution. Since I have not done that, I would appreciate some more information - where to go to purchase it, how to install it ... so on so forth.
It is first time in my all SBS2011 installs that I ran into the problem. This is fresh new install ... strange.

IDK if related but recent windows updates caused issues with remote connections last week

@NewVillageIT
Is there an article that supports the fact that Windows updates caused this problem?

I just checked installed windows updates on SBS2011 and no KB# begins with 3xxxxxx.
They all begin with 2xxxxxx and a few staring with 9xxxxx.
The very first update was made on March 04 2015 when I installed SBS2011.
I will try to run BPA tomorrow. Fix my network did not point out anything except the fact that I set up DNS forwarder.
Is there any other area that I can check to see where it is failing?

I installed MS Baseline Configuration Analyzer on SBS2011, but it does not show anything in the product dropdown menu. Is there anything else I need to do before running this program?
I don't think you need VPN connection for this.

I think you hit the nail on the head. But The SBS self-generated certificate has been installed on my local computer just like any other SBS2011 install. I don't understand what the difference this time.
