Comment (by macports@…):

 For anyone else playing along at home, it turns out that
 [http://www.freerdp.com/ FreeRDP] does support Windows 2012/Windows 2012
 R2 RDP, and there is a
 [https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/net/FreeRDP/Portfile
 fairly recent (git snapshot) version in Macports].  The command line
 arguments are somewhat different (including Windows style command line
 flags rather than unix style ones), but at least for basic "I need to log
 in and check this one thing on a server" functionality it seems to just
 work with Windows 2012.

 Of note, Win2012 (or Win2012 R2) seems to be defaulting to 'requiring'
 CredSSP authentication -- even when I tried rdesktop 1.8.3 on a recent
 Linux VM (Ubuntu 15.04/Vivid), it was failing the CredSSP authentication
 for reasons which weren't obvious (possibly just missing dependencies).
 Which led me to looking for alternatives, and thus to FreeRDP.  (And it
 seems like [ticket:26336 FreeRDP started as a fork of rdesktop].)
