Trouble with RDP on Windows 7 to Windows 2008

This one was driving me crazy, I could connect to my SBS 2008 server from a 2003 server via RDP but not from a Windows 7 workstation.  The error was related to credentials:
“The credentials that were used to connect to <servername> did not work.  Please enter new credentials.”
I want to thank the SBS Diva Susan Bradley for pointing me to a blog entry that offered the solution. 
From within MSTSC save a connection to disk and then edit the RDP file in notepad.  Add the following code as the first line in the file:
          enablecredsspsupport:i:0
Save the file and open it with MSTSC.  You should now be able to log in.
