Just tried to use CTL+ALT and minus or plus to print screen within the
RDP 6 client and I can't do it, it does not put anything in the
clipboard buffers remotely.

How is this accomplished now?

Click to expand...

Just click on the yellow drop down title bar when in full screen mode and
then PrintScrn will work and paste the entire Windows (minus the yellow
title bar) to the clipboard.
 
Thanks for that, but I really want to do an active windows print
screen within the client itself.

I remote into 100's of servers and use this feature to document
settings, create install documents and various other tasks. So print
screen of the whole window is really not a option.

If I do it the way you suggest I'll spend all my time cropping the
images only to get the active window.

This used to work great. See Section 8.3

Thanks.
 
OK - if the RDP session is running full screen then ALT-PrtScn will copy the
active window in the RDP session to the clip board.
If the RDP session is running windowed then I currently do not know.
