> I tried IP, it is the same issue. A little investigation with Windows 2012 servers, which default to mandating NLA. (Server names changed consistently to protect our infrastructure details.) 1. Rdesktop to a wrongly named host rdesktop -u chris -p "$PASS" -d example NOSUCHSERVER.example.net Autoselected keyboard map en-gb ERROR: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known You can see that rdesktop reports that it doesn't know how to resolve the name to an IP address. Slightly puzzlingly, the error I get is different the o OP's error. The "No address associated with hostname" is from EAI_NODATA, but without digging further I can't see how that can get triggered. (I wondered about a DNS entry that didn't have an A record, but I don't have the time to set one up and experiment. Is this an IPv4 vs IPv6 issue, perhaps?) 2.
