This error can happen for various reasons, the main one being a GPO that has been modified.

Try each of these following solutions:


– update RDPlus to the latest version and try again!

RDPlus is often updated and each update solves issues.


– apply all Windows patches
– open the AdminTool then go to the Home tab> click on System Audit and make sure all are green checks

– restart the RDPlus web server

– reboot the server

Then try again


Open gpedit.msc applet

– navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Security.

– then enable ‘Require use of specific security layer for remote (RDP) connections’ and select ‘RDP’ as Security Layer.

– then disable ‘Require user authentication for remote connections by using Network Level Authentication policy’.

– reboot the terminal server or use this command : gpupdate /force

Then try again.


– check RDS-Knight for blocked IPs – make sure that the RDS-Knight service is running

– check the RDPlus web server: ports must be 80/443

– check if IIS is installed and conflicting with RDPlus web server ports – delete the ports from IIS (not an issue they were already deleted)

– restart the RDPlus web server

Then try again.
