SYMPTOMS
When you remotely log on to a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1)-based terminal server from a Microsoft Windows-based client computer, the terminal server uses a Microsoft Global Input Method Editor (IME) keyboard layout. However, this layout differs from the IME keyboard layout that the client computer is using.
This behavior occurs after you upgrade the terminal server from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2003 SP1.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because of a problem in a string-handling function that IME uses on the Windows Server 2003 SP1-based terminal server.
