Don't the newest rdp client versions fix this? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kurt Buff Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2016 1:41 PM To: ntsysadm Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] My ignorance is showing again...
Not sure what you mean - but let me show what I've tried: The DMZ forest is dmz.example.com, while production is example.com (don't yell, I didn't set up the DMZ forest). I press ALT+CTRL+DEL on my machine in the production forest, and select "Change a password" (I'm running Win8.1), then type in the ID and old password and new password in the relevant fields. For the ID, I've tried [email protected], [email protected], dmz.example.com\kurt-dmz and dmz.example\kurt-dmz, and get the same error message in all cases. I've also tried using the name of the DC - [email protected] - and get the same error message.
