TS Client(or server) loses ability to cut and paste between local and remote session

[Guest Herb Martin]

TS Client(or server) loses ability to cut and paste between local and remote

session or between

two remote sessions.

 

Cut and paste generally works -- but from time to time (and recently

more frequently again) this just stops working between sessions and

local computer.

 

This happens with BOTH the Remote Desktop MMC and the normal

Remote DeskTop client (all current updates applied to all involved

machines.)

 

Although this seemed to be a regular problem with Win2000 computers

this problem has been for less common with XP-2003-Vista, although

lately I am seeing it on all of XP, Win2003, and Vista with the server

generally a Win2003 server.

 

Quick Google searches find no direct fix but some mention of a similar

problem on Citrix and the fix for their problem being to "repair the

clipboard chain" with their (downloadable) RepairCBDChain utility.

 

The Citrix article indicates THEIR problem is caused by 'some program'

improperly inserting itself into the "clipboard [notification?] chain' and

thus

the fix program.

 

Any ideas for a purely Microsoft occurence and fix?

The cause of the problem is the same on Citrix and native TS.

The Terminal Services Team has published 2 articles about this,

recommended reading!

This often happens to me when I am taking a lot of screenshots while writing

articles. I have to launch clipbrd.exe and clear the clipboard.

On which machine(s)? The paste target? The source? Or always on

the TS session? Local session? Both?

 

I cut and paste among half a dozen or more machines almost without

having to think about it and having the clipboard become unreliable is

just maddening.

 

It had not been too bad for some YEARS (mostly since Win2000 was

upgraded on my machines) but recently (last few months) has gotten

MUCH worse (again.)

 

Thanks for any and all advice, ideas, or even sympathy on this one. <grin>

Re: TS Client(or server) loses ability to cut and paste between lo

 

I have this happen whether I'm working with TS, or not, i.e. when using

VMware Workstation and taking screen shots from my local host computer

running on XP Pro SP2. Try using the clipboard utility on your client first,

to see if this is where the problem is. If that doesn't work, there's only

one other place to look, on the TS.
