===== Windows Server Troubleshooting =====

==== RDP clipboard doesnt work ====

While using RDP your clipboard stops working. \\

__Reason:__ \\
rdpclip.exe, which monitors your clipboard is not running\\

__Fix:__ \\
Execute the following on your client and the server
<code>
taskkill /IM "rdpclip.exe" /f 
%SystemRoot%\System32\rdpclip.exe
</code>
\\
==== RDP login doesnt work (forced password change) ====

When connection with a "new" user or after a password reset you might be forced to change your password before log in for the first time. But wait... before logging in the first time?... \\

<code>"You must change your password before logging on the first time. 
Please update your password or contact your system administrator or technical support."</code>

__Reason:__ \\
You have to log in to change it but you are forced to change it before logging in... (Classic Microsoft Logic at this point... m()\\

__Fix:__ \\
You have two options.

1. Serverside:\\
Untick the option "User must change password at next logon" in your AD-Account

2. Clientside:\\
Disable Credential Security Support Provider (CredSSP)

Go to mstsc.exe and select "Save As".

{{:windows:windowsserver:rdssaveas.png?nolink|}}

Open the saved file with Notepad and add the following line
<code>enablecredsspsupport:i:0</code>

Execute the file and connect to your server. You should now see the regular "blue" Windows login screen which allows you to change your password when logging in.
