A logon screen and a user interface (UI) element used in connection with a remote desktop are resized, by presenting the logon screen and UI element in a connection/viewing window having a size that has been reduced to be smaller than the topology of a display screen of a user device. After the logon process is completed, a window of the remote desktop and/or a window of an application installed on the remote desktop can be sized/resized to a larger size for use by the user.

A method, system, and computer program product may generate synchronous application logs. A client device may create a session with a server, and the client device may be granted privileges to receive a backend service log associated with the session. A socket accompanying the session may be created between the client and server for communicating the backend service log. The requests from the client device may be monitored at the server, and log information related to the requests may be extracted by the backend service associated with the backend service log. The extracted log information may be transferred, via the socket, to the client device.

Synchronous client-side log service

Techniques are described for auditing clipboard operations in virtual desktop environments. The auditing takes place by detecting clipboard operations that are being redirected between the virtual desktop and the client device and recording log entries containing information about each clipboard operation that was redirected. In order to reduce auditing potential noise information, the redirection process is modified to delay populating the clipboard and recording log entries until a paste operation or other request for the clipboard is detected. In some situations, the clipboard redirection may be blocked based on the auditing capability, such as in cases where the auditing cannot take place due to the client computing device lacking support for auditing the clipboard operation and recording the necessary log entry.
