Fix AWS RDP Authentication Issue -- 2
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I have a AWS Server running Windows 2012R2. Today I changed 2 group policy settings i.e.
-Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console login only - disabled
-Network access: sharing and security model for local accounts to Guest only
After I restarted the server I am unable to connect to the server using RDP. This happened because of the group policy settings that I changed. Since I cant connect via RDP I cant revert changes.
When I try to connect it gives error: "An Authentication Error has occurred. The local security authority cannot be contacted. This could be due to expired passwords. Please update your password if it has expired."
I have 2 user accounts (admin & standard) and both have passwords.
Please help me fix the issue so that I can use RDP to login again.
Apply if you know exactly what needs to be done to fix the problem. Please do not experiment.
Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Must have solid experience in troubleshooting AWS EC2 instance connection errors.
- Strong understanding of Windows Server Operating System.
- Knowledge on resolving RDP authentication errors.
- Experience with AWS connection via other means
Thank you
