So I made a shell wrapper script implementing dynamic screen size selection to 90% of your current display (configurable) and setting the right keymap according to your keyboard layout and variant (layout=ch, variant=fr for me, which is a french oriented QWERTZU layout used in Luxembourg and called by Windows “Swiss French”). Another issue is the screen size setting which seems to be always set to 1024×768 which is a pitty nowadays, everybody uses at least “FullHD” screen.
It’s not because I’m using en_US locale that I’m actually staying in the United States and using a regular ANSI QWERTY keyboard. For instance, look at the error message above and notice “Autoselected keyboard map en-us”. Here is the proper one: This client just works but has the same issue as rdesktop: it’s highly stupid. Moreover, you might need to use RDP to disable this (ZeroDivisionError) and you may not be allowed to do so. Many people around Internet suggest disabling something on the server but it means disabling some security feature.
Here is what happens when connecting: Autoselected keyboard map en-us ERROR: CredSSP: Initialize failed, do you have correct kerberos tgt initialized? Failed to connect, CredSSP required by server. Hey, Recent Windows Server release (like 2012) seems to require some additional feature the good old “rdesktop” tools do not handle. Then you can use vinagre (just one of several vnc viewers available) on the linux side (i don't think it's installed by default in mint, check package manager) to remotely access your windows desktop across the LAN.
