The below may help in this scenario, but hasn't been proven to work in every scenario:

  1. Check for updates. Verify the latest versions are being used for the following:
    • Privileged Account Manager. See NetIQ Patch Finder.
    • Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (RDP Client). To see version information, please open Remote Desktop Client, right-click window and select About.
  2. If the above does not resolve the issue, verify Remote Desktop Services sessions are configured to negotiate the encryption level from the client to the RD Session Host server. See Microsoft for Configure Server Authentication and Encryption Levels.
