    Server Authentication Certificate Error for Remote Desktop Connection

    I have a CA installed on my domain controller. Server Authentication
    certificate is enrolled in Computer Certificate/Personal folder. The same
    certificate is used for ssl and is working OK. If I use it for Remote
    Desktop Server Authentication I get an error from client:
    "The connection has been terminated because an unexpected server
    authentication certificate was received from the remote computer."
    If I try to connect from domain controller, certificate is accepted.

    If I use self signed (generic) certificate, connection works without a
    problem.

    Certificate is enrolled from Web Server template (CA).

    Thanks for help in advance!

    I found this link:

    I will answer this question by myself:

    Certificate Revocation List is required. CDP was removed from certificate
    and CRL can't be found in Trusted Root Certification Authorities.
    We have two options:
    1. To setup CRL on CA server and then add CDP/CRL extension to certificate
    2. To install CRL certificate in Computer/Trusted Root Certification
    Authorities (it has to be valid).
