Remote Desktop Connection Local Disk UNC Path Not Supported on Microsoft Windows 2003 or Windows XP (Windows
only)
24 Release Notes
Remote Desktop Connection Local Disk UNC Path Not
Supported on Microsoft Windows 2003 or Windows XP
(Windows only)
Due to the increased security in Windows installer, installing the common components
from a Terminal Services UNC path on Windows 2003 or Windows XP is not supported
and generates a 1645 error code. Remote Desktop Connection supports automatically
connecting local disk drives in a Windows 2003 or Windows XP Terminal Services
session. Instead of using a Remote Desktop Connection to install on Windows 2003 or
Windows XP, use one of the following methods:
■
A mapped drive to the Terminal Services UNC share
■
A mapped drive to the client computer's share
■
A UNC path to the client computer
■
A path on the local computer
Semicolons in Microsoft SQL Server Login Passwords (Windows
only)
When Microsoft SQL Server is using SQL Server Authentication (also known as Mixed
Mode Authentication), it allows login passwords to be defined with semicolons.
However, when you attempt to connect to the computer where Microsoft SQL Server is
installed using that password, you may see an error message. Do not use Microsoft SQL
Server credentials (for example, for the password for the nsmadmin ID or for any other
users) that include a semicolon.
