Using the Clipboard with RDP sessions

[Guest compsosinc@gmail.com]

We connect to a Windows 2003 Terminal Server with XP Pro clients using

Remote Desktop 6.0. We would like to capture a screen on the client

when it is in a session and either save it as a .bmp file or paste it

into a Word document.

 

So, when we hit "Print Screen" whil in a session, where does that

information go? We thought it went to the clipboard on the TS, but if

it is supposed to, how do we Paste it from the clipboard?

 

Note that our TS users have been restricted to not using any standard

Windows programs on the TS, so we cannot open PAINT or WORDPAD on the

TS from a client session.

 

Thanks!

We just found out the the Clipbook Service is disabled on the Terminal

Server, and we get error message when we try to start it: "Error 1068

Clipbook service failed to start. Dependency service failed to start."

THe dependency is the Network DDE service which is also disabled. Can

we safely start these services that the Clipbook service depends on?

PrintScreen goes to the local client.

Ctrl-Alt-Plus (or -Minus) goes to the TS, as documented here:

Have you enabled clipboard redirection? If you configure the rdp

client to forward Alt-* keystrokes to the remote server, you can

capture windows in the TS session with Alt-PrtScr and paste them

into Wordpad on the client.

Thanks for the information. Do the services mentioned have to be

running on the client, TS, or both? WE have not checked the client

yet but they are disabled on the TS and the CTRL+ALT+PLUS did not

work.
