When you cannot RDP to a target because of “CredSSP-encryption Oracle remediation”: apply your target security patches.
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/06/29
If you get the below error, then your RDP target server needs to be patched.
You can choose to stay vulnerable and modify your policy or registry settings as explained in the first linked article below: that is a temporary “workaround” which I do not recommend. Please update your RDP target servers in stead.
English:
[Window Title] Remote Desktop Connection [Content] An authentication error has occurred. The function requested is not supported Remote computer: rdp.example.org This could be due to CredSSP-encryption Oracle remediation. For more information, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=866660 [OK]

Rumors of Cmd’s death have been greatly exaggerated – but it still pays to switch to PowerShell
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/21
About a year ago, [WayBack] Rumors of Cmd’s death have been greatly exaggerated – Windows Command Line Tools For Developers got published as a response to confusing posts like these:
- [WayBack] Say goodbye to the MS-DOS command prompt | Computerworld
- [WayBack] Follow-up: MS-DOS lives on after all | Computerworld
But I still think it’s a wise idea to switch away from the Cmd and to PowerShell as with PowerShell you get way more consistent language features, far better documentation, truckloads of new features (of which I like the object pipeline and .NET interoperability most) and far fewer quirks.
It’s time as well, as by now, Windows 7 has been EOL for a while, and Windows 8.x is in extended support: [WayBack] Windows lifecycle fact sheet – Windows Help:
Client operating systems Latest update or service pack End of mainstream support End of extended support Windows XP Service Pack 3 April 14, 2009 April 8, 2014 Windows Vista Service Pack 2 April 10, 2012 April 11, 2017 Windows 7* Service Pack 1 January 13, 2015 January 14, 2020 Windows 8 Windows 8.1 January 9, 2018 January 10, 2023 Windows 10, released in July 2015** N/A October 13, 2020 October 14, 2025
Which means the PowerShell version baseline on supported Windows versions is at least 4.0: [Archive.is] windows 10 powershell version – Google Search and [WayBack] PowerShell versions and their Windows version – 4sysops
PowerShell and Windows versions ^
PowerShell Version Release Date Default Windows Versions PowerShell 2.0 October 2009 Windows 7 Windows Server 2008 R2 (**) PowerShell 3.0 September 2012 Windows 8 Windows Server 2012 PowerShell 4.0 October 2013 Windows 8.1 Windows Server 2012 R2 PowerShell 5.0 April 2014 (***) Windows 10
So try PowerShell now. You won’t regret it.
