Issue

Remote Workers using Windows 8 having issues connecting to their work computers via Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2008 Remote Workplace. Depending on Internet Explorer version, some users don’t see “Connect to a Computer” option at all (this is what would normally happen when connecting using non Internet Explorer browser).

Other users can see “Connect to a Computer” option, but when try try to connect they get following error:

VBScript: Remote Desktop Connection
The wizard cannot configure Remote Desktop Connection settings. Make sure that the client version of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 6.0 or later is installed on this computer.
