Because of a protocol error detected at the client (code 0×1104), this session will be disconnected. Please try connecting to the remote computer again.
When using remote desktop connection to connect to a server I recently encountered the “Because of a protocol error detected at the client (code 0x1104), this session will be disconnected. Please try connecting to the remote computer again.” error.
The error was encountered after:
- I had just logged into the the server the night before with no issues.
- Able to login to another server and tried to roundtrip to server in question from another server. Still the same error persisted.
- Rebooting of my machine did not change the errors.
How to fix:
In your RDP connection window, expand options if they are already not expanded and then select the Experience tab. Unselect the Themes checkbox (Prior to Windows 7) or Visual Styles checkbox in Windows 7.
Try logging in again. The issue should be cleared.
Note: After one login, I was able to click Visual styles and login normal again.
Application Essentials Installer
If you frequently find yourself installing Windows applications for friends, family that has wrecked their computer or because you’re a frequent Windows Beta tester there is a great tool for you.
Ninite
Simply go to the Ninite site and select from dozens of apps and then click Get Installer and Ninite builds you a Windows installer of all the apps you’ve selected. Much like the simple process of selecting your apps, your installation runs smoothly with little or no prompts.
There are a couple of limitations to the installer – the applications must be on their list and the machine installing must have web access. However, lucky for us the current selection has a large number of applications unlike Google Pack and it’s extremely limited selection.
The current selection of apps includes:
