Microsoft RDP Errors

Problem 1

Cannot copy : windows cannot find ‘%1!|s!’. Check the spelling and try again, or try searching for the item by clicking the start button and clicking search.

Solution 1

This is a bug in the Microsoft Remote Desktop Client. The workaround is to enable the Smart Card in Windows, even if it's not required for the connection.

Problem 2

Screen areas unresponsive in embedded sessions

Solution 2

This most often occurs on systems that use a DPI setting of more than 100%. To disable scaling in RDM you must adjust the compatibility settings on the Windows shortcut for RDM.

  1. Right-click on the shortcut to RDM.
  2. Select Properties.
  3. Go to the Compatibility tab.
  4. Check Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.

Problem 3

I have multiple sessions to the same computer with different credentials, but it always uses the last one I entered.

Solution 3

This issue stems from the fact that the Windows Credential repository holds only one entry per Windows user for a remote computer. If you use the Embedded (tabbed) display mode and store the password in the database, you'll be able to work around this limitation.

Problem 4

The windows shortcuts are being performed in the session but always on my computer.

Solution 4

You must configure the Keyboard setting in the Local Resources tab of the session settings. You can select On the remote computer or In full screen only
