My recollection of this issue is that it's a known issue with RDP + NLA, in
general, and not something specific to Guacamole. I believe it has to do
with the way that NLA works - the authentication happens as part of the
connection step, prior to the ability to actually interact with the Windows
interface. This means if something like a password expiration or forced
password change is required for the account it will not be possible to log
in with RDP.

If your experience differs and you're able to successfully connect with
something like Microsoft Remote Desktop client or xfreerdp with an account
in the above state, feel free to reply and tell me I'm wrong :-). I'm going
off past experience/memory, here.
