SUMMARY
SYMPTOMS
The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client does not have the option of
specifying the number of colors or the color depth when connecting to the
server. The RDP client only supports 8 bits per pixel (bpp), even if your
physical client hardware is running in 16-bit mode.
CAUSE
This behavior is by design.
