Update for Windows 2008 R2 RDS for HD client support
I had a problem around 6 months ago connecting via remote desktop to a Win 2008 R2 session host using a Windows 7 HD client.
Connection kept freezing - there was not an issue when using a non-HD client.
I was able to locate an RDS update that resolved this issue - but I did not make a note of the KB number and now have the same issue on a different server.
Anybody have any idea which update it was as I can't find it - have been through all the updates installed on the server around about the time it was installed 6 months ago but cannot find anything related.

what is an HD client?
I'm assuming he means HD as in High Definition perhaps?
@devon-lad: Are you perhaps referring to the RDP 8.0 update? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2592687
Current release of RDP is actually at 8.1: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2923545

with RDP 8.0 update in above link Remote-FX capabilities are enhanced
I think you are referring to this update as update for HD client to improve user experience

VB ITS / Mahesh - As far as I remember I had to update both the client and the server. Is it just a case of installing the RDP update on both the client and server?

RDP 8.0 client has both server and client side component
The RDP 8.0 update includes both the RDC 8.0 client and the RDP 8.0 server-side protocol components
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2830477
U should install this update on server and client side both

Have just checked and all clients are on 8.1 - problem server is on 7.1. Previously problematic server is on 8.0.
So it must have been the 8.0 update I'd previously installed on the server.
Presumably best to go with 8.1?

U can go with 8.0 1st and then you can update it to 8.1 if required because 8.1 do not has server side component
@Mahesh there is a RDP 8.1 update for 2008 R2: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41984

Yes, the 8.0 update installed onto the server fixed it - clients already had 8.1
Great! I think it's safe to close this question now and move on with our lives :)
