I am running Windows 2008, anytime I connect to a PC with RDP..

My keyboard goes crazy.

Ex) If I type l in the RDP it will lock the Remote PC.

Any idea what might cause this?

I have checked the Regional settings and everything is correct and the keyboard language is correct. Everything is working correctly on my local PC with the keyboard.

On the "Local Resources" tab of your RDP client, change the default "Keyboard" setting to another one.

I only see Keyboard - Apply key combinations (for example ALT+TAB). – user55630 Sep 29 '10 at 13:54

That's it. Your problem is linked to a key combination sent to your server. With the default setting of the RDP client, the "Windows" key is often stuck. Windows + L => Lock – Laurent Sep 29 '10 at 14:03

This happens to me periodically - just whack the Windows key on your keyboard and that seems to sort it out.
