Every now and then, when I have a remote desktop connection open, the clipboard fails to copy across the sessions.  It’s usually the remote to local copy that’s borked.  It’s pretty easy to fix, but I can never remember what I need to do to fix the connection.

Fortunately the Terminal Services Team Blog has got that covered.  Just kill and restart the rdpclip process in the remote session.   There was also a part two to that post that was pretty interesting.

There is a command line way of resetting rdpclip, so you can roll up both steps as a batch file

taskkill /IM rdpclip.exe

rdpclip.exe
