After May 2018 security update: RDP "An authentication error occurred" "This could be due to CredSSP encryption oracle remediation".

[Client] i.e. On a Windows 10

When an IT Admin was trying to RDP to a Windows Server, they were getting the following error:

May 2018 'security update' is installed.

[CAUSE]

Starting in the May 2018 Security update we are enforcing the March 2018 CVE-2018-0886.

CredSSP updates for CVE-2018-0886

My colleagues Paul and Graeme go more in-depth here:

CredSSP, RDP and Raven

[Server where RDP to is failing]

May 2018 'security update' is not installed. Matter of fact, this hasn't been patched since May of 2017.

Deleted the gpo in the registry

Restarted WU service

The WSUS/SCCM admin needs to check why some of the Servers are not getting the security updates.

Thanks,
