Windows Hotkeys over Remote Desktop in XPe

Seems weird that I would have missed this behaviour when doing our eval/dev,
but all hotkeys seem to get sent locally to the XPe thin client even when
running full screen Remote Desktop sessions.

If you have an XP Pro machine connecting to another XP Pro machine in full
screen, all hotkeys such as Alt+Tab, Windows Key, Windows+E, etc etc all get
sent to the remote session. When I test from my newly built thin client, all
hotkeys operate on the XPe device instead of the remote.

Does anyone know if I am likely missing a component that would help redirect
hotkeys to the Remote Desktop end point?

Thanks in advance.
 
Fixed my own problem. Whilst the TAP.EXE noticed that I needed various
Terminal Services redirector components and whilst I installed RDP 6.0 post
FBA pre-fbreseal, I was missing 1 component.

Turns out that you need to install the Terminal Server component regardless
of your intent to install RDP 6.0 manually later. At least, this is what
worked for me.
