Mac client receiving "this desktop does not support the requested display protocol" error

[mapeters]

I have installed the latest version of VMware on my MacBook and receive the error in the title when I try to connect to a Windows Terminal server. When I use VMware on a Windows 7 machine, I do not have this error. I read in some old posts to change the display type to PCoIP, but I do not have that option. This may be a limitation set by our admins.

I found a workaround of installing the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac from here. VMware will launch RDC and the client can connect. I tested another machine that doesn't have RDC installed and it can connect to the same Terminal Server without issue.
