Sooooo, what happened to XP SP3 implementing network level authentication into the RDP Client?
I've been waiting for SP3 along with all of my users. Finally it comes out and no NLA??
Windows Server 2008 remoteapp seems to have a bug where a user will connect in to a "RemoteApp" program, and no matter what they're doing, about ever 10 minutes it appears to lock the session and require them to re-enter their password. Through tons of research and no answers I finally determined that it must be some sort of bug in the terminal server code that shows itself when NLA is turned off in the server (to accomodate XP SP2 users).
So now, SP3 comes out, I install it, and turn on NLA on the remoteapp server...only to find out its not implemented in the XP client.
It's not a screen saver issue, or a session time out, or a domain policy issue, or network layer issue. The session literally locks (not as in hangs or freezes, but goes to the log in screen) and forces the user to put in their password againevery 10 minutes, and its fine, albeit, VERY annoying when someone's trying to work.
So perhaps someone has experienced this and knows a workaround, or knows how to get XP to support NLA, or at least knows when MS will own up to their original promise, to which i had not heard anything contrary since, that they would implement NLA into SP3.
