Abstract
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.
