Hi All,

I have a SBS 2003 server with all clients as Vista Sp2.

Most users can connect to their PCs remotely via RWW.

2 PCs have recently started giving a VBSCRIPT "An internal error has
occured", when any user tries to connect.

I can connect to the PCs directly using RDP, just not via RWW.

I've tried disabling firewall and antivirus, with no change.

What should I do?

From: SuperGumby [SBS MVP] on
I normally see "An internal error has occured" only if I'm patching anything
related to IIS when remotely connected to the server. The message is
generated when IIS is stopped by the patching process.

I suppose the message could be generated if traffic to/from the server was
disrupted for some reason but 'ISP link saturation' normally results in a
different message. Just to be sure though, what speed do you have up/down at
the server end and how many users would be active at the time? Does it
happen if you ensure only a single user is attempting access?

Alternately, anything in the logs about IIS errors? Possibly IIS web
applications erroring and restarting?
(at the time of the errors)

there is a 2mb/2mb internet link, without much activity on it at the moment.

I get the same error, even when connecting via RWW internally on the LAN, I
can connect to any other PC fine, just not the 2 PCs having the issue. I can
connect via RDP to the PCs without a problem.

I've tried rebooting the SBS server, and affected PCs, no difference.

No errors that I can see in the logs.

I thought that it may have been a DNS issue. I did have a previous issue
where a dns query would return an incorrect ip, doesn't seem to be the case
here though.

I'm guessing malware. If it repros inside the office, run a
malwarebytes.org on those two.

Hello James,

Thanks for your post and Gumby's suggestions.

For this "An internal error has occured" error message, please rectify the problem by editing the following registry key on these workstations and restart the machine.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TermService\Parameters

Under the Parameters registry subkey, right-click each of the following values, click Delete, and then click Yes to confirm the deletion:

Certificate
X509 Certificate
X509 Certificate ID

Note, please backup/export these keys before you do any deletion. Howerver, if there is no such keys, please skip this step.

Meanwhie, please double confirm if the the firewall on the workstation has opened 4125 ports, or try a "Clean Boot" on the problematic workstations to exclude 3rd party
software impact.
