Cliff_FisherI would love to fully deprecate NTLM but I found that once NTLM is fully disabled, I can't RDP to or from servers that are not domain-joined, if I also have Network Level Authentication (NLA) turned on. It gives some error about CredSSP Oracle patch, despite the machines having the latest patches installed. The error displayed says nothing about NTLM, Kerberos or NLA, so the error message is incorrect. The issue likely occurs due to not being able to use Kerberos if the client or server machine isn't domain-joined but I can't find any public Microsoft documentation describing this. Can you please point me to any documentation describing the above issue or provide a workaround and/or fix the improper error message when using RDP in the above scenario?

Thanks Michael - I think you are probably right, but I will connect with the team supporting authentication & see if they can comment here.

I opened a support case on this issue and was open for over 6 months now without much progress. They say they have internal documentation describing this issue but they are refusing to make it public and are not providing a reason. I would greatly appreciate it if you could assist here and to fix the error message and fully document and explain the issue.- Cliff_FisherApr 29, 2025
