The computer is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit edition version 6.1 Build 7601 service pack 1. The computer is not in a domain environment. I believe this may be a security issue however I completed an in-place windows 7 upgrade to try and fix the problem but after all of the windows updates, etc the error remains and appears every time the computer is rebooted... I could use some help with the following error: Log Name: System Source: Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager Event ID: 1057 Task Category: None Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Description: The Terminal Server has failed to create a new self signed certificate to be used for Terminal Server authentication on SSL connections. The relevant status code was Object already exists. Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager" Guid="{C76BAA63-AE81-421C-B425-340B4B24157F}" EventSourceName="TermService" I found {C76BAA63-AE81-421C-B425-340B4B24157F} in my registry in the: HKey_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> WINEVT -> Channels -> Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager/Admin -> OwningPublisher HKey_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> WINEVT -> Channels -> Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager/Analytic -> OwningPublisher HKey_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> WINEVT -> Channels -> Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager/Debug -> OwningPublisher HKey_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> WINEVT -> Channels -> Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager/Operational -> OwningPublisher Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager %SystemRoot%\system32\termsrv.dll When I open as administrator a command prompt window and enter the follow: regsvr32 termsrv.dll I get the following message: RegSvr32 The module termsrv.dll was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure that termsrv.dll is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again. Not sure if this is a problem or if this behavior is expected... I ran sfc /scannow and check disk on the hard drive with both reporting no errors. I updated the security profile for: [Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Security] In the right pane, double click "Require use of specific security layer for remote (RDP) connections", in the security layer list, select RDP. I modified the policy and there was no change in computer behavior. The error still appears each time the computer is reboot. === I found a semi-related webpage that at least lists the same Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-RemoteConnectionManager and 1057. However I'm running Windows 7 64-bit edition and I seriously doubt I have a lack of available memory issue. Event ID 1057 — Terminal Services Authentication and Encryption http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775192%28v=ws.10%29.aspx Physical Memory (MB) Total 24567 Cached 6337 Avaiable 21821 Free 15709 The relevant status code says that the "Object already exists" which I think is far more relevant then some memory issue. Do I have to delete some file or registry entry? Or is it a security issue? Google search have come up with nothing. Any suggestions would be very helpful!
