I tried to rdp to a worker using the scripts at http://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/rdp-to-build-worker .

The output of the rdesktop command (on Linux) is:
Failed to connect, CredSSP required by server.

On Internet, they suggest to untick the option "Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentification (recommended)".

   Output of xfreerdp:

   You can easily change that by adding this line to your build script:

   reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp" /v UserAuthentication /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

   Thanks, it works perfect now.
   The connection now uses SSL.

   NOT a solution, only a (poor) workaround. Turning security down is never a solution and generally only a temporary solution.
   Solution is to use package freerdp, for me worked like piece a cake. @Debian Jessie

   xfreerdp works like a charm.

   xfreerdp is not working either . Going from Raspian on a Pi3 to windows 2012 r2 with 25 RD licenses.... Any thought?
