Internet Explorer 11 not supported on RDWeb on Server 2008 R2

I ran into this problem when trying connect to my Remote Desktop Services on Windows Server 2008 R2, where it told me that "browser not support" and I need to have at least Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher!  Crazy, since I was using Windows 10 and IE 11.


I ran across this article: IE11 Browser not supported on RDWeb 2008 R2 by Shannon Fritz, who Dale Hayter for the workaround. 


Essentially, you connect to the web server hosting the RDS Web Access page, go to the RDWeb folder (in IIS) and edit the HTTP Response Headers.  You add a new header with name: X-UA-Compatible and value: IE-9, ok it, and restart the web server.


Shannon's page has great screen shots for those who need to 'see' it done.   It was a great help and worked like a champ!

AD Federation Services setup

I'm doing a lab/tutorial to learn AD Federation Services.  My simple setup is:

Server1 - Running Windows 2012 R2
xxxxxx - Oracle Virtual Box with 2 hosts
xxxxxx   xxxxxx>  Windows Server 2008 R2
Oracle Linux

Server2 - Running Windows Server 2012 R2
HyperV with one client - Windows 7 client


Systems are on the same subnet, but connected with Windows RAS setup with VPN.
Following the   AD FS Step-by-Step Guide



During instructions, had to setup IIS to require SSL certificate.  Decided to do a self-assigned ticket but had to use a couple of tools to get it to work properly.

Followed instructions on How to Create a Self Signed Certificate in IIS 7 to generate a self-assigned certificate.
