Network Level Authentication

According to this page:

http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...76f9e1033.mspx

Select Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop
with Network Level Authentication to allow people with computers
running versions of Remote Desktop or Remote Programs with Network
Level Authentication (NLA) to connect to your computer. This is the
most secure choice, if you know that the people who will connect to
your computer are running Windows Vista on their computers. (In
Windows Vista, Remote Desktop uses NLA. You can also download NLA as a
service pack on computers running some earlier versions of Windows

NLA can be obtained for other versions of Windows.

IS NLA built into other versionsof Windows yet?

I am wondering about this also, as I have not been able to find a download
or anything that include NLA.

I would like this also. My XP pro machines are all "current SP2 plus
updates.

Went searching the Microsoft KB, Downloads.. I could not identify an
update for XP or earlier.
Anyone got a good link?

Has anyone used the Network Level Authentication between Vista Ultimate and
XP?

I've checked the "Allow connections only from computers running Remote
Desktop with Network Level Authentication (more secure)" checkbox. I then
entered the users to connect. Both computers are in a workgroup environment.

I also downloaded the Remote Desktop client 6.0 for XP.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=925876

However, when I try to connect I get the following error:

Remote Desktop Disconnected
-The remote computer requires Network Level Authentication, which your
computer does not support. For assistance, system administrator or technical
support.

Any ideas?

Sam,

I have the same question/issue and am trying to get an answer from MS. I was
under the impression the new XP RDP 6.0 client supported NLA but I now have
my doubts. As you may know Vista to Vista RDP works fine using NLA though...

On your XP box check to see if NLA is supported by the XP RDP 6.0 client.
See the "To see if your computer is running a version of Remote Desktop with
NLA"
section of the following page.

http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...76f9e1033.mspx

When I do that with my XP RDP 6.0 client test box I see this...

Yes, I get that message too. Take a look at the your first link. It says,
"You can also download NLA as a service pack on computers running some
earlier versions of Windows.) ".

Probably a download later to get support.

FWIW...

Here is the Terminal Services blog thread that discusses NLA to some extent.
You may find it interesting...

connect from XP Machine.
