Resolve

Ensure that the credentials are valid

To resolve this issue, ensure that the credentials are valid on the RD Web Access Web site by doing the following:

  • Ensure that you can log on to the RD Web Access server by using domain credentials.
  • Ensure that the domain credentials are formatted correctly in a non-Microsoft application.
  • Add the RD Connection Broker computer account to the Windows Authorization Access Group.

To perform these tasks, refer to the following sections.

To perform these procedures, you must have membership in the local Administrators group, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.

Ensure that you can log on to the RD Web Access server by using domain credentials

The RD Web Access server that is configured to use the RD Connection Broker server must be available to communicate with the RD Connection Broker server.

To log on to the RD Web Access server that is configured to use the RD Connection Broker server:

  1. On the RD Web Access server, open Remote Desktop Web Access Configuration. To open Remote Desktop Web Access Configuration, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, point to Remote Desktop Services, and then click Remote Desktop Web Access Configuration.

Ensure that the domain credentials are formatted correctly in a non-Microsoft application

The RemoteApp and Connection Management service queries RemoteApp programs, session-based desktops, and virtual desktops that are available to a specific user. This error can occur in a non-Microsoft application if the domain credentials are not properly formatted.
