I am sorry for the late response, but I just wanted to follow-up with how I
resolved my issue in case someone else comes across this same problem.
Connecting via a traditional RDP/MSTSC and using the RDS settings within it
helped troubleshoot the issue. I was actually putting all of the
information in correctly, for the most part, however the real problem was
permissions. Here is one of the errors I found:
Dec 15 13:37:58 guacamole guacd[99179]: FreeRDP initialization may fail:
The current user's home directory ("/sbin") is not writable, but FreeRDP
generally requires a writable home directory for storage of configuration
files and certificates.
Dec 15 13:37:58 guacamole guacd: guacd[99179]: WARNING:#011FreeRDP
initialization may fail: The current user's home directory ("/sbin") is not
writable, but FreeRDP generally requires a writable home directory for
storage of configuration files and certificates.
I was running guacd as a user that did not have permissions to write to the
directory. Once I changed that, it all worked perfect and I was able to
connect via RDS. Thank you for the help.
