I have access to the company server so I used this work around from Amy Wang I found in another help site.
I found a work around for this on SBS 2008. Navigate to "C:\Program Files\Windows Small Business Server\Bin\webapp\Remote" on the SBS server. In that directory you will find a file named tsweb.aspx, right click it and edit it. Go about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way through the file and look for the section that looks this:
sub window_onload()
Dim targetMachineName
Dim version
On Error Resume Next
version = MsRdpClient.Version
if Err then
msgbox ControlLoadFailed_ErrorMessage,0,RemoteDesktopCaption_ErrorMessage
exit sub
end if
On Error GoTo 0
if strcomp(version,"6.0.6000") < 0 then
msgbox IncorrectClientVersion_ErrorMessage, 0, RemoteDesktopCaption_ErrorMessage
window.close
exit sub
end if
What I did was to comment out the second part of that statement so it looks like this
'if strcomp(version,"6.0.6000") < 0 then
' msgbox IncorrectClientVersion_ErrorMessage, 0, RemoteDesktopCaption_ErrorMessage
' window.close
' exit sub
'end if
I have done limited testing and this seems to work, but I don't know if there are any bad side effects at this time. Windows 7 clients do not seem to have issues connecting after this change was made.
You also may have to temporarily adjust permissions on that file so that you can save the file.
I also had the compatibility mode on and had it as a trusted site, but I have not tested it without those on.
