#206 Getting Expected data got 3 error for some Windows 2008 and 2003 servers

[Pavan G]

Hi Team

We have some servers with operating systems of below flavors.

1. Microsoft Windows 2008 Enterprise edition
2. Microsoft Windows 2008 Standard edition
3. Microsoft Windows 2003 servers

When we are trying to get RDP to those servers, getting "Expected data got 3" error. One more main thing here is the specified error is not getting for all the servers of same operating system in above list.

Is this issue exists in the server point of view and code point of view ?

Could you please explain me on this issue and solution with server side configuration and code fix ?

Thanks & Regards,
Pavan G.

Hi Team

I saw and found the code in mcs.c file

Below is piece of code where it gets the error.

if (appid != MCS_SDIN)
{
if (appid != MCS_DPUM)
{
error("expected data, got %d\n", opcode);
}
return NULL;
}

What does the meaning of code and when it will get into this error while taking RDP server console.

What is the opcode value if we get 3

Thanks & Regards,
Pavan G.

Hi

one more observation is this issue is not reproducing when we try to connect to the server using "mstsc".

Thanks,
