    Ok, I know this tread is quite old and locked - http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/whssoftware/thread/395935f8-ecd4-47fc-9856-aed1626d21b6/

    However, I just installed SP3 the other day and now Remote Access RDP through IE is busted.  I've tried just about everything i can find online, including deleting the reg keys, and still no luck.  I continue to receive this error
    http://forum.wegotserved.co.uk/index.php?s=26d4a28af2a49609f70fef71963df5cc&act=attach&type=post&id=439

    I'm still not able to see the terminal services in the add-on's for IE

    Here is what I've done so far.
    • Nothing changed or fiddled with on WHS that has PP1 installed.
    • The server is added to the trusted zones
    • Deleted the reg keys hoping the Terminal services would be viewable in the Add-on's panel to be enabled - still no luck
    • Uninstalled IE7.. same error in IE6.
    • Vista laptop works fine, it's just the two XP SP3 boxes that it's not working on - same settings on each box.

    Aside from uninstalling SP3, I don't know what else to do.

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    TIA

    Hi Bill, I hoped you would get an answer to your post here. I can't offer you one either. Maybe you read my posts about the same problem?
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/whssoftware/thread/c8f718e0-aeff-40bc-bf7d-0097f92d3a79 I was also unable to find an answer. I can tell you for me the un install of SP3 did not work. I was never able to get the add-ons to show up no matter what I tried. The only things I did not try are a clean install of XP w/SP2 and an up-grade to vista. Good luck, if you do find an answer please post it.

    Could you both use the Reset button on the Internet Explorer → Tools → Advanced tab and see if the Terminal Services add-in shows up?
    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)

    Hey, I think I may have found an answer...

    Ran across a site that I can't find for the life of me now, but it suggested deleting all of the     HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings keys not just the two that have been commonly mentioned.

    So far it has worked the first XP SP3 box1..

    I uninstalled SP3 on a tester box and am waiting for the re-install to finish and i will test it out on that. I also have a 3rd box at a friends that i'm going to try as well, but so far it's worked on the first box.

    Bill good news for you!...Ken I've reset to many time to count now....even tryed bills fix and I still can't get those add-ons to show up in the list. I've re-installed or reactivated IIS in add and remove windows componets...went to manage user accounts to make sure I had the proper permissions in place.
    made sure the active x controls in IE were set to on or prompt...I'm going to get my Tom Tom and beat a prayer to the Termial Service Gods in my front yard now...maybe that will help!
    Thanks.

    I tested it on another XP SP3 box and it worked.

    Sorry, i don't know what else to suggest.
    I was at my wits end too until i deleted all of the reg keys (folders) under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ext\Settings.
