Windows Server 2003 Bluescreen when cutting file from it while in Remote Desktop Manager Session

Hello,

I have Remote Destop Manager Free 2020.2.17.0 (64 bits) and I use it to connect to one of our old Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 via RDP.

Whenever I try cutting a file (CTRL-X) from within the server (in the RDP windows), I lose connection and after the server reboots, I see it has bluescreened.

This does not happen in a Windows Server 2008 server I control via RDMF.
It also does not happen when I RDP via Microsoft RDP directly.

Is it a known issue, is there a setting I should enable/disable to stop this from happening? I can't use RDMF knowing I can bluescreen WS2003 servers whenever I use CUT.

Hello,

Windows 2003 was delivered with RDP protocol v5.2, but rdm uses the activeX for the latest version.

In the properties of the session, General, Advanced, there is a dropbox for the RDP protocol to use, we go back to v5.0.

I know the test is disruptive as it causes BSOD, but are you in a position to try it with that setting? I cannot even say what features it would disable without digging further.

For further info, the program that runs on the remote host to handle the clipboard is called rdpclip.exe, do you see that as the cause for the BSOD?

Ok I found the setting, I'll try it whenever I have a non-disruptive window and I'll post back with the results!
Thanks!

Changing the RDP Protocol from Latest to 5.0 seems to have fixed the Bluescreen issue.

Thanks a lot! I'll keep tinkering with it!
