Hello all,

I searched all of google groups and also all of microsoft. I found a
few things and tried them all but I am still unable to copy and paste
text from the Win2000 advance server (terminal) to my xp or 2000 box
or visa versa. I am using the lastest version of Remote Desktop. Here
is what I have tried, there is probably more but I forgot.... Thanks
in advance

* patched everything possible
* reinstalled rdclip
* rdclip hotfix
* checked bitmap caching
* checked disk drive
* http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;302443
* 1.Installed the Server Resource Kit
2.Downloaded the RDPclip hotfix from Microsoft and installed it

These files were updated:
C:\Program Files\Resource Kit\Rdpclip.exe - 5.0.2205.1
C:\Program Files\Resource Kit\Fxfr.dll - 5.0.2064.1
C:\Program Files\Resource Kit\Rdpdr.dll - 5.0.2205.1

3. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe)
4. Locate and click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal
Server\AddIns\Clip Redirector
5. Double-click the Name value, and then type fxrdpclp in the Value
data box
to replace "rdpclip."
6. Locate and click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal
Server\Wds\rdpwd
7. Double-click the Startup Programs value, and then type fxrdpclp in
the
Value data box to replace "rdpclip."
8. Rename the Rdpclip.exe file in the Resource Kit folder to
"Fxrdpclp.exe"
9. Copy both the Fxrdpclp.exe file and the Fxfr.dll file that are
located in
the Resource Kit folder to the Windows_folder \System32 folder
10. Restarted the Terminal server

Thanks!!!

I'm pretty sure there is a group policy setting that inhibits cut and paste
between the TS and the client. You don't mention a policy.

I havent messed with the group policy at all because I am not to
familiar with it. I will look into it but if you or anyone can point
me into the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

BTW... Thanks Rich.

The path in group policy is Computer Configuration / Administrative
Templates / Windows Components / Terminal Services / Client/Server data
recirection.

The following is the description of the policy item for clipboard
redirection:
------------------
Specifies whether to prevent the sharing of clipboard contents (clipboard
redirection) between a remote computer and a client computer during a
Terminal Services session.

You can use this setting to prevent users from redirecting clipboard data to
and from the remote computer and the local computer. By default, Terminal
Services allows this clipboard redirection.

If the status is set to Enabled, users cannot redirect clipboard data.

If the status is set to Disabled, Terminal Services always allows clipboard
redirection.

If the status is set to Not Configured, clipboard redirection is not
specified at the Group Policy level. However, an administrator can still
disable clipboard redirection using the Terminal Services Configuration
tool.
------------------
Notice the last line which refers to Terminal Services Configuration mmc for
the TS. That may help you too.
