I recently joined my laptop to our windows domain and now the remote desktop client crashes when i try and connect to any machine. It works if I run as administrator but not ordinarily.

The domain join migrated my local profile to the domain profile which i think is where the problem lies.

I'm guessing its a permission thing as I had a similar problem with dropbox and had to delete reg keys and reinstall. I can't figure out how to fix this problem though.

The event viewer shows this:

Faulting application name: mstsc.exe, version: 6.1.7601.17514, time stamp: 0x4ce7ab44

Faulting module name: FACredProv2.dll, version: 2.4.95.1, time stamp: 0x4bb8d766

Exception code: 0xc0000005

Fault offset: 0x00000000000025b2

Faulting process id: 0xb24

Faulting application start time: 0x01cd43fbd3a81fba

Faulting application path: C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe

Faulting module path: C:\Windows\System32\FACredProv2.dll

Report Id: 154ee55a-afef-11e1-a443-b8ac6f704c5d

any help would be appreciated!

Turns out it was the dell face recognition software.

The domain join caused a few apps (dropbox, saleforce sync) to crash. uninstalling and reinstalling each of these apps solved it. I didn't realise it was the dell software since i was using remote desktop, must have some hook into all authentication dialogues even when it isn't an option.
