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!
