"An invalid server name was specified" - Connecting To SBS via RWW

I recently ran into a problem connecting to a computer via RWW. I would get the error "An invalid server name was specified". I tried a few solutions and none of them worked. Here is what worked for me.

Step 1: Download "msrdp.cab" from your SBS server at the following location:

https://*your-server*/Remote/msrdp.cab

Step 2: Extract the contents of msrdp.cab to "c:\windows\system32\"

Step 3: In the run bar type: "regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\msrdp.ocx"

That should do it.
