How enable Clipboard from client to host but cannot from host to client

Question

I have an environment where I have a Windows Server 2019 Datacenter version: 1809 and users connect remotely to this server to work. The connection is made via Remote Desktop. The users do not have administrator authority.

I need to allow the connected users (clients) on this server (host) to copy, via clipboard, from the client to the host, but they cannot copy from the host to the client.

In other words, users can't take information from the server, only add it from their computer.

I need clipboard working from client to host e not working from host do client.

How can I config this in Windows Server 2019 Datacenter?

Hello,

Check group policy in your server:

Launch "gpedit.msc".

Navigate to "Computer Configuration" > "Administrative Templates" > "Windows Components" > "Remote Desktop Services" > "Remote Desktop Session Host".

Ensure "Do not allow Clipboard redirection" is set to "Not Configured" or "Disabled".

Note: clipboard only allow files smaller than 1 GB. You should check your software if you are not using "mstsc", and confirm the advanced options.
