Windows 8.1 Remote Desktop Connection dies with feeble "An internal error has occurred" with SonicWALL VPN

Back when life was simple, under Windows XP, i simply fired up my SonicWALL client, connected to the host, and then connected via RDC and all was good.
Now I have Windows 8.1 and SonicWALL's v4.9.0.1202 64-bit client.  I can connect with the client - although it seems to drop the connection quite a bit - but when it is up, I can ping the host.  But when I try to RDC, I get the completely unhelpful
error mentioned above.
My version of 8.1 is up-to-date - the VPN client came right from DELL's website.  What am I doing wrong?
Just in case you want to know, yes - I can RDC to non VPN and PPTP VPN sites no problem - and on the same LAN, my XP box can RDC with SonicWALL with no issues.
Please, somebody - i need to get back to Planet 10!

Did you ever find a solution to this problem. I am having the exact same problem

  • Remote desktop connection. An internal error has occurred.

    Hello,
    The error occurs from a Windows 7 Home computer to a Windows 7 Professional computer.
    I connect successfully through a Sonic Wall VPN client.
    I can ping the IP address of the remote computer.
    I run remote desktop (using IP address of the remote computer) and get error:
    "Remote desktop connection.  An internal error has occurred."
    It used to work flawlessly and all of a sudden quit working.
    Please advise.

    It was a VPN configuration issue on the Sonic Wall.
    What was the VPN configuration issue on the Sonicwall? 

  • "An internal error has occurred" message when scanning from MX922 to desktop using Windows 7

    I am no longer able to scan using my MX922 connected to my desktop running Windows 7 without getting a message on my desktop saying "An internal error has occurred".  I have turned the MX922 on and off, I have disconnected both the power cord and USB cable from the MX922 and from my desktop, I have reconnected the USB cable to a different port on my desktop, I have uninstalled all Canon programs from my desktop and reloaded all Canon programs with the MX922 CD, and I have restarted the desktop multiple times.  I scan documents several times a week for my business. It has worked fine until today. What do I need to do to correct this problem and get back to scanning?

    Hi boisseaujm,
    If you temporarily disable any antivirus or firewall software that is on your computer, then attempt to scan again, are you able to scan successfully?

    You could try reading what I said: change the port in the URL to 1158.
    My release of windows is this,
    c:\Users\John>ver

    You can ignore that junk about editions.
    And by the way, there is a problem with your keyboard, it keeps inserting multiple "...." character strings.

    Jeannine,
         If you follow the advice of the previous poster Julie Kmoch and then gradualy add presets back in one at a time you might be able to find the one that is causing the issue. I may be guessing, but I believe the issue has something to do with either an incompatible Preset setting (eg a older preset in newer version of LR) or a corrupt Preset.
    Say you bought LR2 and imported a bunch of Presets from the internet, cuz 'Hey these effects are cool and I don't have to recreate the wheel', and then you upgraded to LR3 (not a clean install) and now one of the Presets that calls a certain slider setting or value that is different in LR3 doesn't work anymore. This might be why it throws the error, but again I am just speculating.
    Location of LR Preset folder in Windows Vista/ Windows 7
    C:/Users/<YourUserName>/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets
    If you do not see the folder AppData, you may need to change the settings in Windows Explorer to 'Show Hidden Files and Folders'. To do that in Windows Vista/ Windows 7, open a Windows Explorer window, Click on Organize, then Foler and Search Options. Then click on the View tab and select the option button next to Show hidden files, folders and drives.
    Hope this helps a bit,

  • Another Windows 8.1 Remote Desktop Connection Issue

    I want to connect to my PC running Windows 8.1 from my tablet running 8.1. I have allowed RDC in the windows firewall. I open RDC on my tablet and enter my PC computer name, KENSPC, into the Computer field and get "Remote Desktop can't connect to the

    Hi,
    According to your description,we need to know the detail edition of your remote PC.
    You can use a PC running any edition of Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7, or a PC running Windows 8, Windows RT, Windows 8.1, or Windows RT 8.1 to initiate a connection.
    But the remote PC must be running one of these Windows operating systems:
    Windows 8.1 Pro ,Windows 8.1 Enterprise ,Windows 8 Enterprise ,Windows 8 Pro ,Windows 7 Professional ,Windows 7 Enterprise ,Windows 7 Ultimate ,Windows Vista Business ,Windows Vista Ultimate ,Windows Vista Enterprise ,Windows XP Professional.
    Also, I would like to share the following article with you:

  • Connecting to a Windows computer using Remote desktop connection

    I have connected a Windows 7 computer to my network using an ethernet cable to my Time Machine which is configured as an extension to my Airport network. My Mac sees the computer as shared, and I can connect to it using the name and password so I can browse files on it etc.
    Nevertheless Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection will not connect to it, saying there is a network error. It has been suggested that if I use its IP address rather than its name it may work, but how do I remotely find out what its IP address is on the Airport network? I have not found the way using Airport utility or help.
    thanks in advance...

    You are using the Mac version of RDC aren't you?
    If so, please post questions regarding it on Microsoft's own forums for the Mac version of RDC, as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products

  • UAG SP4 and Windows 8.1 Remote Desktop Connection 8.1

    Hello,
    I found on the description of SP4 for UAG the following: "Remote Desktop: Forefront UAG SP4 supports the Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) 8.1 client." Does that apply to the publication of servers using "TS Client Tunneling
    (Windows Vista/Windows XP)"?
    When I use my Windows 8.1 32bit client to connect to the portal, I can see the published application, click on the icon that is on the portal and it start the SSL Application Tunneling and the SSL icon appears at the Taskbar. Then it opens the "Remote
    Desktop Connection" client. However when I type the name or IP of the machine to what I want to connect, it fails. Is something wrong? Or this is not working on Windows 8.1? My windows 7 cliesnt have no problem to connect using this application.
    Thank you! 

    Hi Rob,
    Let's confirm some situation:
    Did you mean connect to Windows 7 from Windows 8.1 computer?
    Did you mean the printer connect to another Windows 8 computer at home, and shared to that Windows 8.1 or the printer connect to that Windows 8.1 directly?
    Firstly double check your settings:
    1. Launch Remote Desktop Connection.
    2. Click Options, and then click the Local Resources
    tab.
    3. Under Local devices and resources, select the Printers check box.
    After that make sure that the proper printer driver version is installed on the remote computer.
    Meanwhile, refer to this thread to check the port:

  • ITunes randomly starts, and gives error "could not connect to iPhone because an unknown error has occurred" - with NO iPHONE CONNECTED!

    Hi, I updated to 10.5 iTunes. I have a PC running Win 7. I have an iPhone 4.
    After updating to the new iOS5, and the attendant iTunes update, now iTunes crashes - a lot - and then won't exit when I click the X. I have to force quit it. Then, it restarts itself a couple minutes later! WITHOUT me plugging in my iPhone! Plus it states it "could not connect to the iPhone because an unknown error has occurred."
    This is a brand new fresh install of Win 7 - literally 4 days old; nothing fancy on it.
    Anybody else having this problem? I've googled this for a while and can't seem to find any answers. It's getting really annoying!!
    Thanks,

  • Win8 pro, hyper-v: error while connecting on local machine "an authentication error has occurred" "the supplied handle is invalid"

    Subject host OS: windows 8 pro.
    I've turned os feater hyper-v on, restarted copmuter. In hyper-v manager added empty virtual machine. After double clikcing on my newly created machine windows with "virtual michine connection appeered". I turned button "power on" and
    console has dropped error:
    "remote desktop connection": "An authentication error has occurred. The supplied handle is invalid."
    on the tiny image on the left bottom picture a can see quest console.  
    1) How can i install OS on my guest, where is default console for virtual machine?
    2) What is RDP required
    for  on this firts stage of installation and how can i connect to the virtual machine console without it???

    Hi,
    Regarding your first question, here is an article talking about install and configure the first virtual machine in Hyper-V, please refer to Step 2: Create a virtual machine and Step 3: Install the guest operating system in the below link:
    Install Hyper-V and Configure a Virtual Machine
    By saying the default console for Virtual machine, do you mean the Hyper-V manager?
    The error might indicate that there is no VM available to connect. After we installed a OS, then we could connect it with the right-click in Hyper-V manager, see:
    Connect to a Virtual Machine
    The RDP connections is used to connect the VM in Windows 8, and for Windows 8.1, there are great improvements including what's called Enhanced Session Mode, more information, please see:
    Overview: Client Hyper-V Enhanced Session Mode in Windows 8.1
    If I misunderstand something, please let me know.
