Your system administrator does not allow the use of saved credentials vers log sur vers the remote computer

At our office, all of our Windows 7 Clients get this error message when we try and RDP to a remote Windows 2008 Server outside of the office:

Your system administrator does not allow the user of saved credentials to
log on to the remote computer XXX because its identity is not fully verified.
Please enter new credentials

A quick google search leads to some posts they all suggest I edit group policy, etc.

I’m under the impression, that the common fix for this, is to follow those instructions on every Windows 7 machine.

Is there any way that I can do something via the Active Directory which could update all Windows 7 clients in the office LAN?

If you don’t want to change local or server side GPOs:

Go to Control PanelCredential Manager on the local computer you are trying to connect from.

You will see three sections:

  • Windows Credentials

  • Certificate-Based Credentials

  • Generic Credentials

Remove the credentials from Windows Credentials and add it to Generic Credentials.

For example, TERMSRV/1.2.3.4
