Take a Mac PC or notebook and try to connect to a Windows server using the Version 2.1.1 of Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac.

It may (should) connect ok with a server that only has the administrative access remote desktop enabled.

But, it fails to work with a Remote Desktop Server (aka Terminal Services server).

When you exit the application with Cancel rather than Reconnect, you may get a Microsoft Error Reporting prompt:

and checking for More Information shows:

which shows error details as follows:

A simple resolution that worked for me was to use the Microsoft Remote Desktop v 8.0.14 app from the App store rather than this Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac
