    for me, a VPN session just gives me an ip and DNS services on my work LAN so i can see all the servers on the lan.

    so if i open my SSMS and connect to a server on the work LAN, it's transparent and cannot affect the clipboard.

    As Gsquared mentioned, if you are using an Remote Desktop Protocol connection, syncing the clipboard is an option, and as i remember it, you can only cut copy paste text, not objects or images.

    are you using RDP?

    Yes I am using RDP after I connect to my desktop using VPN connection.

    My work desktop is a VDI and I don't have SSMS installed on it.....so, from my desktop I RDP to each server. So, if I am physically at work what you suggest would work for me to copy something from remote server to my desktop, however, if I am at home and using VPN connection, there is another layer there and I cannot copy anything from server to my personal laptop. Maybe, it might be company security/policy settings.

    Anyway, I will try your suggestions and keep you posted.

    Thanks guys,

    SueTons.
