The answer wasn't about patching your RDP server. The error you were
receiving was:

> guacamole guacd[61734]: RDP server closed/refused connection: Access
denied by server (account locked/disabled?)

This indicates that 1) Guacamole is working fine, and 2) the RDP server is
rejecting the connection. My answer was that you need to "fix" the issue on
the RDP server side, but in this case "fix" is not the same as "patch."
You need to determine why the RDP server is rejecting access and fix that.
The error message gives you a couple of hints about possible reasons -
account locked or disabled - but there are several possibilities I can
think of:
* The user is not a member of a group allowed to make RDP connections (on
Windows, this is generally Administrators or Remote Desktop Users).
* The account is disabled, locked, or expired.
* The account is already logged on, and is limited to a single session.
* On Windows, licensing is incorrectly configured and the server is
rejecting connections.

I'm sure there are other potential reasons. The point is, Guacamole is
functioning and can talk to the RDP server, and the RDP server is rejecting
the connection. There isn't anything further to look at in Guacamole, you
need to investigate on the RDP server why it is rejecting the connection
and make the appropriate configuration changes to allow the account to log
in.
