There maybe instances that you find that you are unable to use the clipboard operations in a Remote Desktop Session in Windows 2008.
To resolve the issue, please follow the below
Ensure that the fDisableClip set to 0 under
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Winstations\RDP-Tcp
If fDisableClip is set to 1 rdpclip.exe will terminate, because clipboard mapping is disabled. Check that rdpclip is still listed under Addins
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\Addins\Clip Redirector
Name REG_SZ RDPClip
Type REG_DWORD 0x00000003
