#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : Remote Desktop: "an internal error has occurred" -- 0x204, 0x1104, 0x3 Fix : Resolve the CredSSP encryption oracle mismatch at the right end Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-net-rdp-internal Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 20 minutes Risk : high Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX The error names CredSSP or an encryption oracle remediation, usually 0x80090326. HOW TO UNDO IT Remove the AllowEncryptionOracle value, as shown in the last step. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
