I want to connect via remote desktop to a Windows Server 2008 R2.
On the Windows server's remote desktop connection properties, it is set to "safer". Specifically, the selected option is "Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication."
On my Ubuntu system, I tried using Remmina to connect to the Windows server. Remmina can not connect to that server with the option "Network Level Authentication" (as mentioned in the previous paragraph). The error message Remmina returns is as follows:
Disable the connection to the server RPD: IPWINDOWSSERVER2008
How can I connect Remmina (or another program) by remote desktop to a Windows Server 2008 host with the "Network Level Authentication" option selected?

I solved this issue by right clicking on the entry in Remmina, going to edit, clicking on the advanced tab, and then changing the security field to "RDP" from "Negotiate"
