The problem
Some businesses want RDP for application access but do not want clipboard or drive redirection to move files.
Recommended approach
Use Group Policy to control clipboard and drive redirection for the relevant users or Remote Desktop collection, then test with a standard account.
Step-by-step checklist
- Identify the users or servers where restrictions apply.
- Disable clipboard redirection where required.
- Disable client drive redirection where required.
- Review printer and device redirection separately.
- Test copy/paste and mapped drives from a non-admin session.
