SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:

You have an .rdp file that was created on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2) and that has the Terminal Server role installed.
You use this .rdp file to try to run a Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services RemoteApp (TS RemoteApp) application on a computer that is running Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)

In this scenario, the TS RemoteApp may not run.

This problem does not occur when the .rdp file is created on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and that has the Terminal Server role installed. This problem does not occur because of a known problem that prevented the Require Server Authentication option from being enabled.
