Bug Description
I'm running Remmina 0.9.99.1 The GTK+ Remote Desktop Client.
Typically, I'm able to connect to Windows servers if security is set to the default "Negotiate":
Remmina > Profile > Advanced > Security > Negotiate
However, I'm currently onsite at a company, and I'm unable to connect to their new server that's running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise if I have security set to "Negotiate".
I eventually discovered that I can indeed connect if I set security to RDP:
Remmina > Profile > Advanced > Security > RDP
So I'm reporting this to suggest further testing with the "Negotiate" security feature with Window Server 2008 R2 Enterpise. In my case, it was unable to negotiate to discover that it could indeed connect over RDP. Instead, I had to discover this for myself and set the security manually to RDP.

I primarily use Remmia for remoting into Windows workstations and servers because I like its GUI for managing the numerous connection settings to all these various Windows machines.
However, sometimes Remmina won't connect to some servers or workstations. Oddly, when this occurs, I can successfully connect to the same machine (that Remmina can't connect to) using rdesktop:
sudo apt-get install rdesktop
With a command like this:
rdesktop 192.168.1.1 -a 16 -g 1370x850 -u UserName -d domain.local '-rdisk 'home'=
Why is rdesktop able to connect to some machines that Remmina can't?
Answer: [Remmina > Profile > Advanced > Security > Negotiate ] fails to negotiate the correct security (RDP).
