# Known issues for RDP

This section describes troubleshooting information for RDP scripts using the Agent for Microsoft Terminal Server.

Tip: For general troubleshooting and limitations, see Known issues.

- Clipboard sharing supports only short simple textual content.

- When recording with RDP Agent, applications which were developed using CBuilder may not record properly.

- RDP does not support 32-bit color depth. If recording uses this color depth, VuGen automatically switches to a lower color depth and a "[RDP Analyzer Warning (790: 418)] 32-bit color depth is not supported, switch to lower one". warning log item appears in the Recording Window.

- Remote Desktop Services redirection is not supported.

- Replay fails on rdp_sync_object_mouse_click/double_click steps:

  Workaround 1: Modify RDPAgentCodeGen.cfg file

  The RDPAgentCodeGen.cfg file can configure VuGen to automatically create an rdp_sync_on_image and rdp_mouse_click step the next time the script is generated for each rdp_sync_object_mouse_click/double_click steps which occur within a given window. To do this, you specify the name of the window, update a variable which counts the total number of windows for which this process occurs, and regenerate the script.

  1. Open the RDPAgentCodeGen.cfg file in the Script Directory > data folder.

  2. Open the Step Navigator and double-click the step that failed.

  3. Copy the name of the window.

  4. In the RDPAgentCodeGen.cfg file, increase the value of NumberOfTitles by 1.

  5. Add a line as follows:

         WindowTitleX=<name of window>

     where X is the new value of NumberOfTitles.

  6. Regenerate the script.

     Note: The RDPAgentCodeGen.cfg file can be used to automatically produce rdp_sync_on_image and rdp_mouse_click steps in a similar way for rdp_sync_object_mouse_click/double_click steps which are specified in different ways as well. Steps can be targeted based on the class attribute of the control. For more information, contact Software Support.

  Workaround 2: Manually insert a new step

  Manually insert an rdp_sync_on_image and rdp_mouse_click step for each step that fails. This method is less preferable, since steps added in this way are lost if the script is regenerated.

- When CredSSP authentication is enabled in the runtime settings, the connection to the server may fail.

  Resolution:

  1. Open the Group Policy settings on the server side.

  2. Select Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Credentials Delegation.

  3. Enable Encryption oracle remediation, and change Production Level setting to Vulnerable.

- Connecting to a Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 server:

  When using the RDP protocol to record a connection to a Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016 server, the following error may appear on the RDP client: "An authentication error occurred."

  Resolution

  Perform the following procedure on the server:

  1. Open the Local Group Policy Editor by typing "gpedit.msc" into either a Run prompt or the Start menu.

  2. In the Local Group Policy Editor, select Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Security.

  3. Enable "Require use of specific security layer for remote (RDP) connections" and set the security layer to RDP.

     Note: Alternatively, open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp in the Registry Editor, and set the Value data for SecurityLayer to 1.
