Fix RDP clipboard if copy/paste is failing

Sometimes copy/paste to/from an RDP session fails even if all server and client settings have been configured correctly. Often the fix is as easy as this:

• Open Task Manager
• End the rdpclip.exe process
• Run a new process
• Type rdpclip and press Enter

Remotely Enable RDP

This method assumes remote registry is enabled on the remote PC that you wish to access. If that is also disabled, a physical trip to the PC may be in order.

1. Open Regedit and "Connect Network Registry..."
2. Connect to the remote computer by name or IP address
3. Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Terminal Server
4. Locate the fDenyTSConnections entry
5. Change the value from 1 to 0
6. You should now be able to connect via RDP

Connecting Windows 8 to SBS 2008/2011 RWW

If you are using Windows 8 and cannot connect to computers via  to SBS 2008 or 2011 Remote Web Workplace, the following may help.

It is likely that once logging in you can still access email via OWA and open the Internal Website, but you can't connect to internal computers.

This issue is (or will be) supposedly solved with an Update Rollup package, or you do the following in Internet Explorer to sort it out yourself:
- add your RWW site to Trusted sites,
- open the RWW site in compatibility mode.
After this, you will be able to connect to all computers.

Black Screen When Restoring Minimised RDP Session

When restoring a minimised RDP session, often it will come up with a completely black screen, which won't go away for up to 20 seconds...not productivity friendly!

Try this on the client PC (not the remote server/PC):

• In registry go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\
• Create a new DWORD value named RemoteDesktop_SuppressWhenMinimized
• Specify 2 as the value data.
