Clipboard Interaction Between Sessions
I have noticed there appears to be a problem with remote desktop manager where RDP sessions appear to get confused with copy and paste functions.
If I copy and paste a file in a session from the C: to my desktop, and then move to another RDP session and carry out a the same task the original RDP session appears to get confused and gives an 'error copying the file or folder'.
I have observed this when copy and pasting files on my local machine too, I can go back to an RDP session and find a server I am logged onto has an error on the screen.
Just to confirm I am not trying to copy and paste files between RDP sessions, I only copy and paste text occassionally. The errors I get on my servers are being generated by some sort of clipboard / remote desktop manager interaction with a session open on a server without me doing anything with the session.
This problem only happens when I use remote desktop manager, microsoft RDP manager does not do this.

Hi,
I have a question, do you open your RDP session in external mode or embedded? Also, can you verify the clipboard setting in RDM, it's in the RDP configuration of your session (Local Resources). The other test you can do, is to save your RDP settings in mstsc and createa link to it in RDM. We will see if it's related to something in the setting.

Hi, thanks for the prompt response.
I use all of my sessions in embedded mode.
The clipboard setting in each sessions 'local resources' has serial ports, hard drives and clipboard ticked. However I have disabled everything but the clipboard on the server settings as they are terminal servers out customers use.
Shall I can try disabling all other settings exept the clipboard?

Yes, you can try to disable all, but also try to open you session in External mode to see if it's work?

I tried unticking the hard drives and serial ports first, logged off / on to the servers I changed and then copy / pasted various files around and I havent seen the problem so far....I suspect it will be an issue regarding the hard drive mapping bit. Is there a way I can disable this on all globally? I have around 100 connections to change.

Hi,
It's not possible for now to do it in batch. I already have this on my todo list for 2011.

i think you can edit this by batch edit, cant you?
Hi,
My mistake, you are completely right, I forgot that batch edit is already implemented for the RDP settings.
