Hello and Good Afternoon Microsoft Community....
My organization is in the midst of migrating our users from Windows 2003 Terminal Servers to Windows 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services Servers. One thing we have noticed since migrating our users is that with Clipboard redirection enable on our 2008 R2 Terminal Servers, users are now able to Copy - Paste files from their local workstation into their Remote Desktop Session, and vice-versa. Now, back when we had Windows 2003 Terminal Servers, you couldn't Copy-Paste files with clipboard redirection enabled. You could only Copy-Paste text. And thats what we want....We want users to still be able to copy-paste text from their workstation into their RDP session, but not files. The ability to Copy - Paste files from their workstation to our Terminal Servers is a serious security concern for us.
So, the question I have for the community is:
1. Was the ability to Copy - Paste entire files from the local workstation to the RDP session of the server a new feature in Windows 2008 R2 terminal servers?
2. Is there a way to turn off this feature, that is, still allow text to be copied in the clipboard, but turn off the ability to Copy-Paste Files?
