I have been having problems getting my XBOX 360 to connect to my Windows 7 Media Center for the last year. I never spent the time to get it working until today. After I performed the normal steps for adding and extender (which would complete successfully) I would get errors on my 360 saying that it could not connect the the Media Center. Sometimes I would get as far as the MCE start page, other times it would fail on the screen with the little white dots below the WMC logo. In any case I found the solution:
Solution
Run gpedit.msc. Go to Computer Configuration -> Administrative templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Security.
Enable "Set client connection encryption level" & change encryption level to 'Client Compatible'.
Disable "Always prompt for password upon connection"
I'm guessing these settings don't only apply to Windows 7, but to Vista and XP media centers as well.
