When I try remote desktop connection to the windows server 2012 R2, the eventID 36871, Schannel is shown in EventViewer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The description for Event ID 36871 from source Schannel cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
server
10011
The handle is invalid
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyone has an idea on this?
Thanks so much.

Looks like you can safely ignore it.

no, I cannot have the remote connection to the windows server, with error message popped up:
"An internal error has occurred."
Together with the EventID 36871 Schannel error found in the System Logs.
Grateful if you can help. Thanks.
