Why my clipboard can only paste out from RDP into my desktop not the other way around?

  • 772

I'm having very weird problem in my TS RDP connection,

I can copy and paste from my TS RDP out into my desktop (from any program into any program in my home workstation)

but somehow I cannot copy paste from my desktop into my TS RDP (from any program at all - it always remember the old content of the clipboard) ?

this is going through RDP session over Juniper SSL VPN into the Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server but obviously this is the same TS RDP application that is provided by Windows.

any help regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

    Try this:

    Go to Administrative Tools | Terminal Services Configuration. Right-click on RDP-TCP | Properties. Under the client settings tab, make sure "clipboard mapping" isn't checked.

  2. On the 2003 server box, if you go to Administrative Tools | Terminal Services | Terminal Services Configuration right click on the "RDP-Tcp" connection in the Connections list and choose properties and then go to the Client Settings tab. Is the Clipboard option checked? If it is, uncheck it.

    I have encountered weirdness like this from time to time, but rebooting my client machine usually solves it. If this is a consistent issue with this server it is likely a TS configuration issue.
