Is it possible to capture a RDP (remote desktop) session?

Hi,

Here is the scenario: Let's say I have 2 computers and I use RDP from PC1 to remotely access PC2. I have SC running on PC1 and my RDP session is "full screen".  I would like to capture the RDP screen (full screen) but all hot keys presses (prtscn, cntrl-alt prtscn, etc.) I tried were not "seen" by PC1 so SC is not triggered to take a screen shot.

Is this possible to do what i need to do?  I have the same problem when using KVM-over-IP to remotely access a computer.  Both situations failed because all key presses are being sent to the remote computer. I wish I know what special key sequent that is always "seen" by the local PC, such as the Cntl-Alt-Del, while inside a RDP or KVM-over-IP window.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Nothing is impossible :D! I don´t use RDP so I can´t give specific tips, but if you use something like Citrix It´s possible that logging functions are existing.
The only problem is: Recording of remote desktops of other people isn´t allowed without their personal agreement. Running Sniffers and Keyloggers in the background to catch passwords can only be done by government or legitimated controllers from your boss to check for unallowed usage of their systems. This can be a reason to be fired.
Even if you use encryption I want to mention that the used algorithms (RC4 56-max. 128 Bits) of RDP are very poor.

How old is your information? RDP encryption is adjustable, and can be set to use FIPS (natively) which is AES (the standard that replaced DES3) based.

@davidvan - Not sure if you know this but Ctrl+Alt+Break will toggle full screen so you can grab a SS off PC2 with PC1 if the target is positioned correctly. Either that or use the good old Print Screen & Alt+Print Screen (full screen on PC2) and paste the clip board content to something on PC1 (I've done that a few times in a pinch).

you know this raises a really interesting question.  is there any way in RDP or the virtual machines, to define some hotkeys that should break out of default behavior?  ie not be sent to the remote machine, or vice versa?

Stoic Joker: I´ve read about this in Wikipedia. Perhaps your informations are newer.
