Windows 7 RDC (Remote Desktop) SLOW!

[howejustin]

Hi all,

I have the RC 7100 build of W7. Every night I need to RDC into 12 different servers to do some backups. This process works quite well in Vista, XP, etc, however in W7 it is painfully slow. If only one RDC window is open, there is about a 2 second delay on any keystrokes or mouse clicks, and I have to refresh the screen if I minimize it then go back in (it's black otherwise). The more windows open, the longer the delay. It gets to be almost 8 seconds of a delay if all 12 windows are open. Again, windows vista didn't have this issue.

What can I do to improve the delay with RDC?

Thanks!

Solved!

For anybody having this issue when connecting to windows 2000 / 2003 servers, I've found the solution!

Upgrade your Windows 7 build to 7232 (can be found on many torrent and p2p sites...I got mine off of pirate bay). It's the "expected" build to be in the retail version, and I can happily say I don't have any more connection issues when connecting to multiple win2000 servers.

Hooray!

Thanks much! Just tested this with the RTM and RDP to Windows 2000 looks much better!

I second that, "hooray!"

Are you connecting via TS Gateway? that seems to be an issue with Windows 7 RDP.

Dear All!,

For resolving Remote Desktop (RDP) Slow Connection speed in windows 7 and also windows server 2K8 I think MS team made a change in Minimum Color Depth from 8 to 15 BPP that Make remote desktop in higher color than before so
I've made a custom .RDP file with 4 changes from original One that listed below:

1 - 8 Bpp color depth RDP that has been Lost in windows 7 and windows server 2008 make you extreme Fast.
2 - Full Screen with Smart Resizing (make full screen RDP as default and if you wish it's resize the full screen windows and not scroll!!!).
3 - Keyboard hooking (make windows Key combinantion works on remote side).
4 - all local hard disk drive mapping.
