RDP and Campus Computers

["Carroll, John" <carrolljw () LONGWOOD EDU>]

We at Longwood have been trying to find a solution that would allow our faculty and staff to work from home while 
preventing them from downloading or storing potentially sensitive data on their personal computers. One solution that 
we are favoring is leveraging our SSL VPN Cisco client with the Remote Desktop to the users office computer. The issue 
with that appears to be the clipboard "cut and paste", which allows you to essentially copy data from work to your 
personal computer. To further aggravate, the option to enable and disable this feature appears to be with the client 
side (home user). I have not had much luck finding a solution on the web to disable the "cut and paste" (rdpclip.exe) 
permanently. It is a Windows protected file.

Has anyone attempted to do this and found the same issue or perhaps a solution or, do we need to find an alternative 
method and give-up on RDP?


Any suggestions or advice would be most welcome.
