Why won't ScrewDrivers work with the Remote Desktop web interface?

You must modify the web interface to allow ScrewDrivers to work with Remote Desktop via the web interface. Without these modifications ScrewDrivers is unable to create a virtual channel within the Remote Desktop Protocol. Please follow the appropriate directions:

Windows Server 2003

  1. Edit the web portal's html file, typically default.htm in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\tsweb\default.htm. Check Internet Information Service (IIS) if you do not know where the Remote Desktop html file resides.
  2. In the html file find "Device redirection options". It should read as:

'Device redirection options

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectDrives = FALSE

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectPrinters = TRUE

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectPorts = FALSE

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectSmartCards = FALSE

* the TRUE or FALSE values may differ in your environment

  1.  Add the following line of code at the end of the "Device redirection options" section:

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings.PluginDlls = "sdrdp5.dll"

After you finish, the "Device redirection options" should read as:

'Device redirection options

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectDrives = FALSE

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectPrinters = TRUE

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectPorts = FALSE

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings2.RedirectSmartCards = FALSE

MsRdpClient.AdvancedSettings.PluginDlls = "sdrdp5.dll"

  1. Save this file and restart the Internet Information Services service.

 

Windows Server 2008

1. Open up the "web.config" file in the TS web directory, typically C:\Windows\web\ts\web.config on your server.

2. Look for these entries:

<add key = "xPrinterRedirection" value = "true" />
<add key = "xClipboard" value = "true" />
<add key = "xDriveRedirection" value = "false" />
<add key = "xPnPRedirection" value = "false" />
<add key = "xPortRedirection" value = "false" />

Add the following:

<add key = "xPluginDlls" value = "sdrdp5.dll" />

3. Restart IIS
