Microsoft Server NTLM vulnerabilty - Remote Desktop app - Macbook

[Koldov]

Whilst I have been perusing the Event Viewer on the server I have occasionaly come across the once per reboot message that the server is using NTLM authentication for something and what with the recent security update of the NTLM velnerabilty I have enabled auditing in preperation.

 

It would appear that the only message I get is a regular information event that shows the Headteacher's Macbook (using the Remote Desktop app).

 

I had to set this up quickly to a VM with SIMS (along with most of the Office and Outlook apps) as he doesn't like Microsoft Windows and he wanted a Macbook when he started.

 

So, before I start digging around for alternatives - is there a way to force the Remote Desktop app not to use NTLM?

 

Obviously I'm concerned come January he will be blocked from using NTLM...

Maybe the HTML5 RDWeb ?

Maybe the HTML5 RDWeb ?

 

Looks like I would have to create an RD webserver role for that? Seems a little bit excessive...

 

Does anyone else use the Remote Desktop app to connect a Macbook to a Microsoft server?

 

Is there a better way to do it?

 

Or am I going to have to look into making this Macbook some sort of exception when NTLM is blocked?
