We have no issues recording RDP against our windows 2003 servers. This is an issue since all our machines will be upgraded to Windows Sever 2008 R2.

Problem Solution:-  The first thing to be clear on this incident is that LoadRunner is not supported on Windows 2008 R2, that means that LR 11
will fail if it has been installed on the specified operative system.

The recording operation of a script in Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) uses the client provided by Microsoft and not all versions are supported.
