Using the Clipboard During Terminal Server Sessions
Using Terminal Services provides seamless clipboard sharing, making clipboard contents
available to applications locally on a user computer and within a Terminal Services session.
The shared clipboard synchronizes its contents with the local clipboard and can be viewed
using the Windows Clipbook Viewer (clipbrd.exe). You can copy and paste text or
graphics from a document within the client window, and paste it into a document on your
local machine. You cannot, however, copy and paste files and folders.
When you cut or copy information from an application, it is moved to the Clipboard and
remains there until you clear the Clipboard or until you cut or copy another piece of
information. The Clipboard window in ClipBook Viewer shows the contents of the
Clipboard. You can paste the information from the Clipboard into any document as often
as you like. However, the information is only stored on the Clipboard temporarily.
Local Printing During Terminal Server Sessions
Terminal Services provides printer redirection which routes printing jobs from the
Terminal server to a printer attached to your local computer. There are 2 ways to provide
access to local printers: automatic and manual printer redirection. Use manual redirection
when your local printer requires a driver that is not available on Windows 2000 Server.
Automatic Printer Redirection
Printer redirection is automatic when the local printer uses a driver that is installed on the
Windows 2000 server. When you log on to a session on the Terminal server, any local
printers attached to LPT, COM and USB ports that are installed on the client computer are
automatically detected and a local queue is created on the server. The client computer
printer settings for the default printer and some properties (such as printing on both sides of
the page) are used by the server.
When a client disconnects or ends the session, the printer queue is deleted and any
incomplete or pending print jobs are lost. Information about the clients local printers and
settings are saved on the client computer. On subsequent logons, the printer queue is
created using the information stored on the client computer.
If a printer driver is not found on the server, an event is logged and the client printer is not
created. To make the printer available, the driver must be manually installed on the server.
