I am trying to remotely connect a windows 8.1 client to a Windows Server 2012 Essentials domain. I do this by navigating to:
https://remote.mydomainname.com/connect/
The connector downloads and starts fine but after user authentication, fails with the following error in the log file:
[5644] 140326.163326.4949: ClientSetup: Running ValidateUser Tasks at WizardPage DomainUserCred

This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details. ---> System.Net.WebException:

I have made sure that the firewall on the server has port 65500 open. The router is set to forward all requests on port 443 to the server.
Any advice would be great
