Weekly Review: Dynamics GP, Terminal Services, Cut/Copy/Paste

It's actually been a longstanding issue with Dynamics GP that when using it via Terminal Services users sometimes lose their Copy/Paste functionality within TS. The typical advice has been to logout and log back into TS and Copy/Paste is typically restored. On the Dynamics GP Newsgroup, Alicia W. has come up with a better option. Kill the RDPCLIP process and restart it. This reliably fixes the Copy/Paste issue. To make things easier for her users, she put the process in a batch file that looks like this:

tskill rdpclip
start "" rdpclip

That's it. 2 lines in a batch file and problem solved. Thanks for digging that out Alicia and making it available to the rest of us!

This was supposed to be fixed with GP SP 3 but the problem still crops up occasionally in TS even when not using GP so this tip is still relevant. Every so often even this doesn’t work and you have you close and reconnect.
