cannot login windows server 2012 remote desktop connection

So after a bit of fighting with this the error being shown by the RDP window is nothing to do with time & date being wrong on either the target or host.ĭigging a little deeper it appears that a Domains Certificate Authority (CA) had an expired certificate, and as such needed to be renewed. It's a production server, so rebooting it every day is not an option.ĭoes anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing such an issue? But after that then it fails to connect with the same symptoms. The server responds for a few days following a reboot. Operation failed with the following exception: The server is not operational.

Test-ComputerSecureChannel : Cannot reset the secure channel password for the computer account in the domain. When attempting to run the powershell command 'Test-ComputerSecureChannel - Repair'

I've reset the computer account through Active Directory Users and Computers.

I cannot connect from the Host through Hyper-V directly to the VM's running on the server.

The automated backups on the server are showing RPC call failures to the host VM's when trying to backup specific directories.

I cant connect using the hostname or the fully qualified domain name, but I can connect directly via it's IP address.

Checked the system time & time zone against my laptop, and against the domain controller.

I can RDP to the Hosts VM's without issue.

If the problem occurs again,Ĭontact your network administrator or the owner of the remote Make sure your computer's clock is set to theĬorrect time, then try connecting again. Remote Desktop cannot verify the identity of the remote computerīecause there is a time or date difference between your computer and I get the following error when trying to RDP.

I'm having a few problems with a Hyper-V Host that I'm unable to remote desktop to a few days after a reboot.
