Windows Vista Remote Desktop Authentication Certificate Error
I was trying to remote login to a Windows Longhorn server today after a reformat of the server from my Windows Vista Business. However, connection was being rejected and being bounce back with the error message
The authentication certificate received from the remote computer has expired or is not valid

I am so frustrated about this as I am able to login as of yesterday ( before the OS reload );Additionally, the server is a clean OS installation with no extra setting / application installation. Tried from other’s terminal RDP and is working fine. It just does not work from my Windows Vista machine.
After some checks, it turns out to be the server time zone and actual time is not synchronizing with my machine. As I have login on yesterday through my machine RDP, the check for the certificate will throws the invalid message. After changing the server time and time zone, I am able to login.
The other solution is to remote the certificate on the remote server through the Certificate MMC > > Certificates > Remote Desktop > Certificates

Make sure your time is correct on both machines. This solution took care of same problem for me.
I had the same problem, and then checked the date/time settings on both computers. One was grossly out of date and time. After i fixed it, the problem went away.
Hi,
Interesting, I`ll quote it on my site later.
Have a nice day
