Hello Umesh,

 

I understand the issue with the RDP connection after connecting to SSLVPN.

 

1) Capture the packet on the port 3389 on FortiGate to understand the traffic between client and server.

 

diagnose sniffer packet any "port 3389 and host x.x.x.x" 4 0 l

x.x.x.x is server IP address.

 

2) Try the RDP connection to the same saver locally within the same network and check the RDP connection.

 

3) It could be a Windows update, revert to the previous update and check.

 

Regards!

Hi @Umesh ,

 

Please add ICMP in the Service of the SSL VPN firewall policy. So once connected, please run continuous Ping.  This is to check the SSL VPN connectivity.

Regards,

Jerry

I don't think Fortinet will fix this - the problem is probably in Windows, as we have the same problem when connecting via LAN on the local network.

This GPO solution worked for us:

Local Computer Policy> Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections > Select network detection on the server - set to Enabled, Turn off Connect Time Detect and Continuous Network Detect
