Disable NLA Network Level Authentication

Question

Dear Microsoft Support Team,

I am trying to disable NLA and I have it disabled from:

local group policie/administrative template/Windows Components/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Session Host/Security

But when I go to Control Panel/System and Security/System/Remote settings/System Properties/Remote/Remote Desktop

I can't uncheck the Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with NLA because it is blocked.

Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your prompt response.

Best regards,

Hello Albertosd77,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

Based on the description, you want to uncheck the option "Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with NLA".

1.You can enable NLA from "local group policies/administrative template/Windows Components/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Session Host/Security" first.
2.Then uncheck the option "Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with NLA".
3.Disable NLA from "local group policies/administrative template/Windows Components/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Session Host/Security" again.

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any question or concern, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,

Hello Albertosd77,

Thank you for your reply.

Did the machine in the domain or not?

Have you made "Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with NLA" via local group policy or domain group policy?

If you have any question or concern, please feel free to let us know.

Hello Daisy

Thank for your help.

I did as you said.

Enable NLA from "local group policies/administrative template/Windows Components/Remote Desktop Services/Remote Desktop Session Host/Security" first.

But that is still blocked "Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with NLA".

Hello Albertosd77,

Thank you for your reply.

I did the test in my lab. It works.

You can change "Require user authentication for remote connection by using NLA" to "Not Configured", then run command “gpupdate /force”.

At last, close the Windows below and reopen it.

Hello Daisy Zhou123

I changed "Require user authentication for remote connection by using NLA" to "Not Configured", and run command “gpupdate /force”.

I closed windows and reopened it but i have the same problem like you can see it.
