How to disable clipboard sharing in a remote session?

Resolution

You can configure group policy to prevent clipboard from sharing (on Terminal server locally or enforce it via AD/DC GPO):

    Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Device and Resource a Redirection: Do not allow Clipboard redirection - enabled

To inhibit clipboard for particular user, please enforce the following policy via AD/DC GPO set on required object:

    User Configuration Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Device and Resource a Redirection: Do not allow Clipboard redirection - enabled

Please note that in Server 2003 group policy location is different:

    Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Terminal Services > Client/Server data redirection: Do not allow Clipboard redirection - enabled
