I've just tried all of these and none worked. I tried the .

rdesktop -d "."  -u "Administrator" -p pwd  10.1.1.1

which just put ".Administrator" in the username box and didn't change
the domain name

rdesktop -u ".\Administrator" -p pwd  10.1.1.1

did the same.

Same with 127.0.0.1, I just get whatever goes in the -d added to the
domain name and the domain drop down stays with the original domain.

Looks like it could be the version of rdesktop not handling domains
properly, it is 1.6.0 from rdesktop.org which is the latest version.
I'll try asking on their list and see if I can get any answers from
there, if I do I'll report back.
