Remote Desktop cannot verify the identity of the computer you want to connect to. This problem can occur if: The remote computer is running a version of Windows that is earlier than Windows Vista. The remote computer is configured to support only the RDP security layer. Contact your network administrator or the owner of the remote computer for assistance.

On your RDP client use the following procedure Click on “Options” Click on the “Advanced Tab” In “Authentication Options”, select “Always connect, even if authentication fails" You did not provide additional info, so I cannot help you more. what os versions do you have (client and server)? what is your rdp version?With kind regards Krystian Zieja http://www.projectnenvision.com Follow me on twitter My Blog

Hi, I'm using a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6.6 and Microsoft Office: mac 2011 with Remote Desktop. I'm trying to connect to a Windows 2000 server.

Hi, I had a similar problem, however I was trying to connect to a Win7 machine from an iMac running 10.6.6. All was working fine for the last few months then suddenly stopped allowing me to connect this morning. I followed these instructions and now it's all back to normal so far. http://shebangme.blogspot.com/2010/05/remote-desktop-connection-cannot-verify.html http://jens.raaby.co.uk/journal/2011/01/microsoft-remote-desktop-on-mac-os-x/#comment-329 Both give the same info, just happened across them at the same time. Hope this helps.

You rule, Elemental7!

Is there any thing we can do on the remote computer side that'll fix the problem? I have the same problem with snow leopard connect to windows 2003 server. If there is a win2003 hot fix for that, the problem shall fixed once for all. Identity cannot been verified may well be a problem of a server anyway.

I got the very same problem, trying to connect to a Windows 2008 Server, after the recent Office 2011 SP2 update (14.2.2). The server currently has a self signed security certificate. Clicking "Connect anyway" (or setting preferences to do so) worked before this update.
