Have you tried using FreeRDP? rdesktop was removed from SLED as of 11 SP3 in favour of FreeRDP. The executable is xfreerdp. If you don’t have that install the freerdp package.
If you want rdesktop there is a package for SUSE SLE-11 SP 3 available at http://software.opensuse.org/package/rdesktop
If you want to build from source the -devel package(s) you need (start with xorg-x11-devel) are probably in the SLE SDK. The appropriate version for SLED 11 SP3 is at
https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=hF8sRGTVC04~
Actually I need the local device(printer) during the remote session, which rdesktop provides/supports via ‘-r’ option, and I don’t find this local resource feature in FreeRDP.
Also rather downloading the 11 SP 3 SDK, I installed the rdesktop rpm from SLED 11 SP2 media without any issue, and its working too. But -r option does not seem to work, because when I logs on my Windows Server via rdp, I don’t see the local printer their, so it seems rdesktop is not properly working with respect to local printer availability, also its not just SLED rdesktop, but -r option doesn’t seem to work on ubuntu boxes too.
Remmina is working, but Remmina is not available for SLED 11.

Try these options
--plugin rdpdr --data printer --
See also rdpdr section at
https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/wiki/Plugins
Thanks for suggesting me the --plugin option. I tried ‘–plugin rdpdr’ but it does not work, i.e when I try to print a document on windows terminal server, I dont find the printers attached/installed on SLED box.
xfreerdp 192.168.0.199 --plugin rdpdr --data printer --

Unfortunately I’ve been unable to get printer redirection to work either. I’m thought I had it working once before though.
I was going to try with newer version of FreeRDP but building those requires newer things than are in SLED 11 SP3.
xfreerdp is sensitive regarding the options. I was providing the options after Server Address, while xfreerdp expects the option before Server Address, so following does not work:
xfreerdp 192.168.0.199 --plugin rdpdr --data printer --
But following works perfectly:
xfreerdp --plugin rdpdr --data printer -- 192.168.0.199
Once again thanks a lot mikewillis.

Excellent. Thanks for posting back that you got it working and, much more importantly, how you got it working!
It works for me too with the options before the hostname.
Now I look again, the Wiki page I linked to actually shows that in the usage example. Doh.
