Greetings,
The company I work for has a virtual dedicated server (Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard) which employees access through a hyperlink on the company's webpage (a html document). It was set up this way about a year ago and has worked fine up until yesterday. Normally, when the link is clicked in IE, mstsc.exe launches with the settings from the .RDP file. As of yesterday, it no longer launches but instead goes to a page displaying the text content of the .RDP file. Connecting to the server directly from the PC still works - it's only the link that isn't working. As far as I know, nothing has changed on our end and I've spent all night trying to fix this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is the code contained in webserver.rdp: (IP address has been substituted with ***'s)
